MURPHY'S LAW
Nu, so ask me what's new? My brother Dovidle is coming to visit. From Boulder, Colorado. For ten glorious days. We are beyond excited.
When is he scheduled to arrive? Wednesday morning at around 3:30 in the morning. Of course, I'll be at the airport.
Well, I think I'll be at the airport.
Oy.
We have had marvellous weather here in Jersalem these past few weeks. Abnormally warm, around eighteen degrees C. Not bad for December. But wait! Wait! What does Mr. Weatherman predict for today? Hundred kilometer winds...will the plane be able to land? SNOW!!! Will the plane be able to land?
For those of you who don't know, we do get snow every once in awhile in Jerusalem. It is actually glorious. Glorious! But my question God, is, 'Of all the days in the year, why pick the only morning that my brother Dovidle is arriving?'
See, we in Jerusalem live in the hills. You go UP to Jerusalem (in more ways than one) and when there are three snow flurries that stick to the ground the entire city stops. No school. No busses. No traffic in or out on the Jerusalem highway.
Oy!
So here is the plan. My brother Dovidle always says we need a plan. I am going to the airport...of course I am! And taking a taxi service that only drives to and from the airport. And I think instead of leaving at three to get there at four, when he should be out of customs (if the hundred kilometer winds allow the plane to land...sigh), I'll go around midnight so that I'll be in the airport before the skies open and we start to sing 'I'm dreaming of a white Chris...Channukah!
Then, if we get stuck at the airport we will at least be together.
So wish me luck, keep your fingers crossed, spit three times, tfu tfu tfu, and off I go.
Whenever my brother Dovidle comes to visit, I pack a suitcase and move in to Bubbie Channah's place next to Hamashbir right downtown.
So if you don't hear from me in a couple of days, don't send out the helicopters or sniffer dogs, vey, it's just me offline pretending that we are back in Windsor like we were when we were kids.
Have a great day...stay safe...and thanks for dropping in.
