Back to MA

After coming to the end of a great trip for everybody, we are going to be coming back to MA - we should be arriving late WED afternoon.

As with pretty much everything else in our lives, dear reader, please don't take our lack of writing to mean that nothing interesting is going on. To the contrary. there is just WAY too much stuff to write about, and not nearly enough time to dedicate to putting it down on paper.

One rather cute/nice experience today while I was doing some clinical work. I frankly had been worrying a bit about my transition to clinical medicine in Israel, basically in connection to the language. Of all things, I had a patient today who saw me (here in Baltimore) and immediately would only talk to me in Hebrew. As a matter of (funny) fact, his first question to me was how he could translate "lay-cha" to a family member (it is roughly equivalent to "mucous/phlegm", at least in reference to a cough, I explained to him - thank you Chana Shapira.....). To my own pleasant surprise, I actually survived the encounter without making too much of a fool out of myself. At least there is hope!

Hope to write more when we get back to Israel....
