So, Atlantic City has been fun. My buddy Ben, who I'm staying with here, has beenking a great host. He even provided booze for my Christmas Eve 14-hour one man drinking marathon. I had Chinese food on Christmas, like a good Jew, and watched a bunch of movies. That being said, it's time to move on. Today I fly to Israel. I won't get to the kibbutz until tomorrow night, but that's ok. I have music and books to keep me company. I'm hoping my roommate will be there when I get in, but he probably won't. It's going to be a hell of a first couple weeks. I'm looking forward to being settled in.
