Another quick update

Nothing new to report, really. Joy and Jason left Israel after being here for 5 weeks. We went out to a final lunch on the Namal with Katie, which was fun. I'm typically not such a fan of the Namal, as all of the Brara (read B&T) of Israel show up pretending to be cool Tel-Avivi residents for a day. It has the same vibe as when the East Bay dregs show up in Union Square on Saturday's in SF and start spilling over in to the other neighborhoods (I sound like such an elitist bastard).

But the lunch was great, and the food was great.

I'm in the process of reading articles for Dr. Rosa about endogenous factors to democratization, how fun.
