PS- i think it's a bit unfair that points were awarded to benjamin epstein-- he knows all those israelis personally, which takes away from the game and tips the scales in his favor exponentially. not to mention he stole my extra credit answer-- he doesn't know petrella!
Hey Yoni,
First of all, thanks for the birthday wishes. Very thoughtful and very much appreciated. We also received your postcard and enjoyed it very much.
I have sent you two e-mails and not heard back. What's the deal on that? Do you even check your e-mail?
We will miss you in Hawaii. But sounds to me like you're having quite the adventure in Cucumberland. Great opportunity.
Keep up the blogs and I'll write again soon.
Love,
Janet
Ok, here goes again...by the way, although I do know them personally, Yoni does a pretty good job of inventing answers that are plausible unless you happened to know that specific fact about the person--I really did have to guess on a couple of them. But I do have a slight advantage...heeheehee...
