Home Again
May 29, 2002

Hi everyone,

I saw so many people over the weekend that I normally write home to that I forgot I should write to tell the rest of you I'm home! I will be in Mason City until Tuesday the 11th of June. Just a short hop home. A little shorter than I expected, because the flight was cancelled, meaning an extra 24 hours in Tel Aviv. There is nothing to do in Tel Aviv besides go to the beach, and hang out in the hostel and watch MTV. [MTV is pretty darn funny if you are no longer accustomed to watching TV after two years.] I did both, and it put me in a good mood for handling airport security. I was calm and chipper, and got the lady who frisks people to crack up so she was having a hard time doing her job.

I think I have been missing several emails people have sent me, at least I gather from the chiding I am getting for having not responded. Also, several friends have said they don’t want to bother me with ‘boring stuff’ from home, because of the life I live in Hebron. I say, feel free to write as much as you like about 'boring stuff,' because 'boring stuff' not involving lethal conflict is usually just what I want to hear about when I'm working over there. :)

I am working on a training curriculum for international volunteers going to help out in Palestine for the next day or so. Then I will be free to visit and talk to people.
Hope to hear from you all soon!
