Been on a Deserted Island

Where is this island you ask? Where can one go and take a step back in time, have to watch TV and read a newspaper to find out what's going on in the world? Why, LA of course. I have been visiting my mother for a week and she currently has no internet access, and none of her neighbors have wireless access that I can "borrow". So, I had to give up access "cold turkey" for most of the week. My niece brought me her wireless internet adapter so I can catch up, and post to the blog too. So, I am off this island temporarily, until she returns later today to retrieve her adapter...

When I arrived in LA on Tuesday we left LAX and went to lunch in the nearby "Jewish" area of town with a host of kosher restaurants. I had Philly steak sandwich (pretty good I might add) before we went to the kosher market to get a few things for my stay, visited family in the area and ended up eating dinner at an Israeli place, thus avoiding traffic to drive home.

Before now, when I mentioned the possibility to my mother of her visiting me in Israel, the general feeling was that she wasn't going to make the trip. After this visit, I think she is considering it at some future time, so maybe she will visit. I told her just to take the direct flight out of LA, eat dinner, take a sleeping pill and wake up for breakfast and landing... in theory sounds good anyways...
