Monday Chill: Tchaikovsky Flash Mob
Forty students from the Jerusalem Academy of Music and Dance took a classical approach to the flashmob as they flashwaltzed Tchaikovsky’s Waltz of the Flowers at the new Sarah Wetsman Davidson Hospital Tower in Jerusalem. Doctors, patients and passers-by joined in the fun. The surprise concert was part of Good Deeds Day, an annual event that originated in Israel in 2007 and now takes place in over 50 countries worldwide. On this day volunteers reach out to the less fortunate and the vulnerable. Hadassah Medical Organization treats over one million patients annually, without regard to race, religion or national origin.

No point sitting here, let’s get this engine firing so we can blow heat into this beast. I back out of the driveway, skidding backwards. (Not a good sign. I’m a mere 20 yards from the house.)
I arrive at I-95. Early morning traffic trying to beat rush hour and the interminable snarls later in the day. Cars, SUVs, hulking Semi-trailers – all lurching ahead in a conga line. (It’s looking a lot like Gotham City, except I’m 40 miles away from Gotham.) Continue reading “Snowman”
