Calvin Coolidge. Enough said.

Quote of the day: "I have never been hurt by what I have not said." - Calvin Coolidge

Here's a tidbit to make sure that you keep coming back for updates:

Last night, Eileen made her way to Jerusalem to have dinner with Lori, Sammy, Brenda and Hindy Chazanow (and her friend from Morisstown). Hindy and friend were here with Birthright, and were able to extend their trip a few extra days. After dinner, they came back to Bet Shemesh to spend the night, and this morning we dropped them off at the airport at 8:30, after which we drove Lori and Brenda back to Jerusalem. After dropping Lori off so she could get a bagel before work, we headed down to the German Colony to drop Brenda off at an orientation day for the high school that she will be starting, B"EH in September.

After depositing Brenda where she needed to be, Eileen and I found parking and had a big breakfast at Cafe Aroma.

To get back home, I took a roundabout route to try to avoid the thousands of police that were deployed in the city for the Gay Pride parade scheduled for 5:00 PM today. As I write this, I am streaming the Channel 2 news and watching live coverage. It looks very, well, colorful.

Apparently, all it takes is a Gay Parade to divert the nations attention from the new terrorist state that Hamas has established on our border. Gotta love those gays? I hear that next week the Adulterers will be having an Adulterers Pride parade, followed by the Lovers of Incest parade.

Personally, I wish these people would stick to Tel-Aviv for their parades. Is this nonsense really a price that Jerusalem has to pay for being not only Gods Capitol City, but also the political Capitol of our secular state?

I just spoke to my mother-in-law. Somehow, they managed to get into the city and rounded up Lori and Brenda for dinner in a restaurant which is just down the block from one of the counter-demonstrations. Those girls sure are eating well this week.

That's about it, will keep you posted!
