Well I had tongue surgery on Tuesday. I had a lesion i.e. a bump on and in my tongue. The oral surgeon was and is 99% sure it is nothing to worry about but still we wanted it gone. I have stitches so maybe I'll lose a few pounds!

We made reservations with another couple for an 11-hour flight to Israel. We'll be visiting for 2 1/2 weeks. I'm not saying vacationing because the first two weeks we will be on the go constantly. We built in a couple of days at the end for r & r on the beach. I can't wait though an 11-hour flight is a long time!

SORRY- MY COMPUTER WILL NOT ALLOW ME TO CONGRATULATE THE YANKEES.

It's a beautiful day here in MA. We will be planning our trip to Israel with friends. I'm busy with our "wedding" day plans (religious this time and our 25th anniversary).

Heading to NH for the weekend. Prime leaf peeping season.

I have spent hundreds of dollars and going on 8 hours with Dell to fix my computer. It may be up and running now - I'm not sure. I have another call from India I will be receiving any minute. I will catch up!

My computer is really sick. We're heading to Maryland for a wedding on Friday. I'm leaving my computer at home and hope it's feeling better on Monday!

Did you know that texting on your cell phone while driving increases your risk of getting in an accident by 23 times? Leave sooner, text later, live longer!

To my Jewish friends on the site and reading this have a wonderful Jewish New Year. May the New Year be filled with good health, fun things, and peace. Jo

My heart goes out to all those who lost their lives, a loved one or who got hurt on September 11, 2001. The firefighters who go into burning buildings while others run out are the true heroes.
