There’s been a bit of excitement in Jerusalem over the past few days. Local meteorologists predicted between 8 and 11 inches of snow first for Tuesday night, then for Wednesday night. They got it wrong - there was very little accumulation, but the icy wet slush that we did get proved to be enough to shut down the city for 2 days. Not enough for a good snowball fight or for gorgeous photos of the city in white, but enough for an awful lot of hooky-playing.
We spent our days huddled with friends in our living room. It’s COLD in our house. The chilly temperature makes it really hard to get out of bed in the morning, but to tell you the truth we’re having fun with it. We’re running our three tiny blow heaters 24/7, wearing a million layers of clothing, and we robbed the beds in the guest room for extra comforters for our bed. I also carry a hot water bottle with me everywhere for my feet. But, like I said, we’ve been spending a lot of time socializing and playing games in the living room (if we bring 2 or 3 of the little heaters in there it warms up pretty well - especially if we’re playing the Wii).
We’ve also been spending our time putting the finishing touches on LinkerGuitars.com. Go on over and check it out. It’s still a work in progress, but we’d sure appreciate your comments and feedback, and it would be grand if you’d send your guitar playing friends our way.
For the sake of accountability I’d like to report that I made my word-count goal for the month of January, writing an average of 869.5 words per day for a total of 26,956 words. Only 11 more months to go.
