As I get closer to my surgery (Mar 18), my voce is continuing to degrade. It is  very frustrating to me, but as long as you tolerate it, I can live with it.

The good news is  that the long dry spell is over. The Government announced yesterday another  $400+ Million in military aid for Ukraine AND another $600+ Million for Taiwan.  It had been more than a week since we announced more aid for Ukraine, so I was  getting a little worried. That said, it's time that we started asking more than  a couple of questions about where this whole thing is headed...

A week ago I was  having one of the most wonderful meals I have ever had. The night before last I  was sitting in the synagogue learning about the concept of the esoteric ideas of  the Torah.

And yes, in my  head, they are related...
