Rockets Hitting Israel

So you might have heard that a few rockets have hit Israel in the last few days and I can assure you that I am pretty gosh-darned miffed about it.

Mainly because I live in Israel.

I'm not a source for information regarding the present conflict, I just spent the weekend with my wife and kids in our house, and I really don't trust the news, but I do like what this chap has to say about peace in the Middle East though.

If you 5 have minutes I strongly recommend watching it. It explains a lot.

As I sit here listening to the names of those who were murdered on September 11th 10 years ago, being read out by survivors, I think of Frank Bennet Reisman who died that day.

I had no connection to him in 2001, but since I wrote this article on September 11th, 2009, I have him in my heart. 

Rest in peace, Frank.

I Should Not Be Here

I should not be here.

I should be drinking tea and eating scones with my Mum in good old Blighty.

But that Eyjaf­jal­la­jokull volcano has scuppered all our plans.

But it really is quite beautiful isn't it?

In a deeper sense I think it should open our eyes on just how reliant we are today on certain machines, and how nature can play with our daily lives.
