On a personal note....

The Elder family is not known for planning ahead very much. In that vein, we just decided that a very-long-overdue trip to Israel would be fun - starting next week.

So if anyone knows of a good apartment to rent in Jerusalem (the closer to the Old City, the better) preferably with two bedrooms, kosher kitchen, Internet access and the usual amenities that spoiled Americans might want, for about two weeks, please email me at coolboardpresident - at- yahoo dot com.

תודה רבה!
