Preface

And I am safely in, what was known on CLS as, "The Country Above Egypt" (or, if you perfer and are linguistically minded, "The Country Where They Speak That Other Semitic Language"). I write to you from the comfort of my home away from home in Jerusalem on my way to meet a friend for coffee, to which I will carry only a purse which weights perhaps 3lbs. This preface is intended to inform you that I am sore, decaffinated, speaking the language of the Hebrewman, and have stories to tell.
