Ah well.. Apologies if you are all offended.

Reason it started was that Yahoo had a hernia yesterday (and possibly day
before) where they were not accepting emails from yahoo group members sent to
groups. (which is why I sent the "delete me" email - as a check!)

Took 24 hrs to fix and numerous bounced emails.. But eventually it was back in
service. Although it did hiccup and drop out a second time for a couple of
hours.

I was happy to reply to Pat as a double check. It is also nice to hear from a
barbershopper that is distant and often "forgotten in the desert"...

Anyway.. enough waffle.. back to studies...

Service seems back and looks stable, finally!! or we would not be having this
chat ;-)

Hey Steve,

I'm fair to middlin', some good days, some bad, you know how it
goes. :-) I'm still in Israel. Have been here 4.5 years now and,
other than not enough barbershop singing (only 3 choruses and 4
quartets), I like it a lot. It's NOTHING like the media portrays
it and, other than a few small headaches and inconveniences (the
drivers here are terribly inconsiderate, the cost of cars is
double anywhere else in the world, and salaries are about
one-third of Europe or the States), it's a great place to live.
The food is good (so is one of the local beers, Goldstar, and
there are several microbreweries that are outstanding), the women
are lovely, and the choir singing is HUGE (over 800 local choirs
and other types of singing groups in this little, tiny country!)
and reasonably good (and getting better all the time ;-)).

How's by it wit' you and yours?

Pat
