Oops. If you used your MoviePass credentials last week, you might have found they didn’t get you into the movies.

You would think after traipsing about Europe that I would be done traveling this summer. Nah.
For years, I traveled 3 to 4 days a week for 47 weeks a year. So, I’m really used to traveling. (I used to have two bags packed- one for warmer climes and one for colder climes. I’d be ready to leave on a moment’s notice.)

We tried a new airline to get to Athens. EasyJet. As a precaution, we each prepaid for a piece of luggage (since the carrier charges if you do so at the airport). This choice meant that we left from a different airport; not surprisingly, all the “discount” carriers use out-of-the-way terminals.
We are continuing our journey through Berlin. The other days of Berlin were filled with great walks. Oh, sure, we took the Metro from our “close-in” bed and breakfast to the real city. (Note to self: NEVER do an AirBNB in the summer. Because most of those places lack air conditioning!)
Ah, vacation time.
This year I was planning to join my synagogue’s trip to the Ukraine. But, my son had special plans for most of those dates, so that put the kibosh on that choice.
I just finished a tour of Berlin and Athens. I traveled with a friend and his 11-year-old daughter. Which reminded me how intriguing it was when that was the age of my children (ranging back from more than 15 years to more than 30 years ago). And, over the next few days (probably interspersed with other topics), I will share my observations, along with pictures.

Tomorrow is the 9th day of Av. And, at the very end of this Hebrew month is the day my mother died and the day my oldest daughter was born. All auspicious moments.

This is an “oh, sh..” moment for many a researcher. It seems that the premise of much of our research and drugs dealing with Alzheimer’s is completely wrong.
Back when I was a tyke (you know, about 400 years ago), this was never a problem. Because back then, most moms stayed home and took care of the kids. I’m not saying this was great or right or wrong. I’m just saying it was.
