Vacation Target

12/27/2024

6 Comments

 
One of my oldest friends, Brad, who was a big help with the QSO Today Virtual Ham Expos, decided this week to take a vacation, with his wife,  to Tel Aviv for a few days to enjoy the city life, the restaurants, and the pleasant walks on the beach and surrounding attractions.  He and his wife particularly liked a walking tour of buildings in Tel Aviv that were Bauhaus, a modern German style popular during the  1930s.  Of course, Brad and his wife had a wonderful few days. 

Tel Aviv is a happening city and many Israeli's who don't live in the city,  work or visit to enjoy its museums, concert halls, and attractions.  Tel Aviv is also the bullseye for Houthi ballistic missiles and drones in the last week or two.  Like most Israeli's now,  we live and play normally, even if our cities are under attack.  One night at two on the morning, our friends made new friends, in pajamas, in the hotel stairs, as the missile warning system blared across our land.  

Perhaps human beings are infinitely adaptable to places and situations.  We Israelis adapt to our surroundings and situations. Our desire in Israel to be normal in abnormal situations, especially, when the situation drags on, now over a year.   We pray for peace in "Jerusalem", the whole land of Israel, and a time that will limit our social opportunities in the middle of the night on the hotel stairs.

New Year's Greeting

My head is clearing from the medications that were given to me for pain, so I thought to take this opportunity to wish all of you Merry Christmans, Happy New Year, Happy Haunakah, and that we all proceed with positive energy and health into the future. 

I sincerely appreciate all of the prayers, good thoughts, and messages that you send to me and to my XYL,  Karen, who was also suddenly hospitalized for an infection.  They are all part of our recovery that we feel day to day.

Tennis Shoes in a Clothes dryer

Just a short note to update that I am home from almost 3 weeks in the hospital.  Five radiation treatments, therapy, and enough drugs to stop an army, I feel like tennis shoes bouncing around in a clothes dryer.  My biologic therapy is working, I am told.  I am happy, alive, and looking forward to getting back to QSO Today.  

It takes all of my strength to write these few words of thanks.  Thanks for your messages and prayers.  I feel them and know that I am one of the luckiest people alive.  

73,  Eric  4Z1UG
