She had me at masturbation

Last night I had the privelege to meet former Surgeon General of the United States Joycelyn Elders. She spoke at the Temple on healthcare as part of their annual lecture series. Prior to her speaking, Shlomo and I were invited to a dinner for her and were fortunate enough to sit at her table. She and I bonded during drinks over our shared native state. It's pretty amazing to say you are from BFE and have a Surgeon General know exactly where it is. She was passionate, articulate, honest, and funny. That is all you can ask for in a speaker.

While at the temple, several little old ladies (or LOLs as I like to call them) talked to me about what a great time I would have in Israel and how many times they have been, etc. I know this to be true, but my question is why do I have diarrhea just thinking about it? I am pretty sure this is God's punishment for my constantly singing my ode to the big D in the first grade...you know, some people think it's gross, but it's really good on toast... I was such the comedian.

I know it's ridiculous, but I am seriously going to miss my shows for the next week and a half. No Dancing With the Stars, no Desperate Housewives, no Ugly Betty, no Grey's, no Damages, no Brother's and Sisters...seriously...I know I should have bigger problems and I do have the DVR, but still. My only consolation is I have downloaded the first four eps of Gossip Girl to the iPod. Hopefully, I will like the show and will add it to my list of series. Honestly, what am I going to do without Weeds for two weeks? You may say it is just a gateway series, but I am addicted.

That's about it for now. I probably will not blog while in the Middle East. But, you can expect plenty of updates when I return on Halloween.
