One thing you don't know about me is that I'm a licensed masseur. In 1979 I took a three month once a week course at The Goldmann Institute for Physical Rehabilitation in Tel Aviv. The course included Elementary Anatomy, Theory of Massage, General & Medical Massage and Sport Massage. Gaby Goldman, who gave the course, was the masseur for the Batsheva Dance Troupe and the Israeli national soccer team. The certificate says "I herewith recommend Hillel Schenker as a proficient massagist, who is able to work in the profession." However, I never did, though others in the course took it more seriously. These days, I have a bi-weekly or monthly massage myself (not with Alfie).

My friends are both writers. She is a Protestant minister, author of 30 books, unusually interesting. He is a Jewish academic, an author too. I love them both. They're visiting their daughter and daughter in law, married and living and working in Austin.

Ugh! I just saw this. Are your friends still in Austin? We are in Cedar Park, just north of Austin. So sorry I missed your message...

To experience emotions beyond one’s ability to explain is, perhaps, why we are here. Namaste’
