Greetings from the Mid East

Last month My daughter traveled to Poland and Israel with her youth group  — and some 10,000 other teens from around the world — on a trip called The March of the Living.

This trip is for Jewish teens around the world to spend a week in Poland visiting the Death Camps and marching from Auschwitz to Birkenau on Holocaust Rememberance Day, then traveling to Israel for a week and spending Independence day there.

While she was in Israel she acquired for me a Spider-Man watch and a bar of Spidey Israeli chocolate.

How cool is that?

Unfortunately, I’m now presented with something of an impossible decision — do I preserve the chocolate for all times never eating it because it is “Spidey” chocolate, or do I (carefully) open the package and eat the candy, saving only the box in which it came...

Nope, not such a hard choice. I ate the chocolate.

***** UPDATE *****UPDATE *****UPDATE *****UPDATE *****UPDATE *****

Well, I finally got around to opening up the Israeli chocolate, and — much to my surprise — the candy itself was wrapped in Spidey wrapping. Cool, eh?

Thanks, again, Kayla!

Imported Spidey stuff!

Now this is really cool, My daughter recently went to Israel and came back with some Spidey stuff for me.

What you are seeing here is a metal Spidey lunch box, a Spidey bag, and some sort of Spidey candy container. All very cool stuff, especially when you realize that she was in Israel when she bought it and the metal lunchbox in her luggage apparently caused the security people to pull her over for questioning — presumably because of  of the image it made upon screening.

Kayla is a doll, and is always willing to indulge my Spidey fetish. Thanks, baby, I love you so much!

Glad you are home!
