No post since last Friday…? Hoping all is well in the Avrech household.
“No post since last Friday…? Hoping all is well in the Avrech household.”
My thoughts as well.
Thinking along a similar line.
My thoughts and prayers join those of yours and others.
Those ads crack me up!
On the benefits of Speed years ago when I was in the Army I was friends with this ex-Green Beret who was in Vietnam.
He said that the Army used to issue them these pills (probably still do – when it is life and death).
Anyway I never will forget a story he told of literally running for their lives for 24 hours with a North Vietnamese Battalion chasing his 7 man team.
Said he had a picture of himself (not from that particular mission) but as skinny as a rail with bug eyes.
Pinchas Tzvi looks like he’s a bit concerned about those pill-popping, chain-smoking mothers and housewives. 🙂
When are you going to pay us a visit and check out that Grant Wood for yourself?
A good, fortifying (smoke-free!) Shabbos to all.
I took the pic of Pinchas Tzvi just as he got off the plane from NY to LA. He was exhausted. I really should come to see you and Grant Wood.
I really like that “Evening News” painting. I wonder if it’s available as a poster somewhere?
And that photo of Myrna Loy is interesting; at first I thought she was being photographed without makeup, but when I read a plot summary of the movie, I realized she was supposed to be an alcoholic, so the rough look fitted the character.
