So yesterday, there was a huge pouring thunderstorm and lightening.
After a bolt or two that must have hit our power line, ALL the power went out.
That was not fun when sitting in an La-Z-Boy electric recliner chair.
Where the f*** is the safety release on this thing when there is no power? 😉

A Smooth Jazz Shabbat Shalom to all!
A little song.
A little dance.
We’re back in the groove.
Thank G-d for Friday, because then comes Shabbat! 😉

What a cool design for a recreational space.
C stands for Couch.
And a big red one one it is.
Some blue chairs on the periphery.
And a little dot coffee table in the center.
The fake greenery on the wall is kludgy, but we know what they were trying to say.
Overall, a nice welcoming space. 😉

Nothing says freedom in the USA like a nice Three Wheeler Motorcycle.
Vroom Vroom!
Super fun and a perhaps little more stability for your butt.
If the air is clear and the road empty, you can let the wind blow through your hair and the whole world go by.
F*** everything!
Life was made for living. 😉

Did a nice beach walk from Tel Aviv to Jaffa.
It was sunny and warm out.
Lots of people exercising, running, and enjoying the outdoors.
The blue Mediterranean Sea, the white sand, and breeze in the air was lovely.
Even a funny statue of former Prime Minister Ben-Gurion doing a headstand as he used to do in his fitness routine.
Shabbat is a good time to stop and take that much needed walk on the beach. 😉

A very cool Shabbat Shalom to you!
Congratulations on another week of hard work and accomplishment.
Now it’s time for a day of spirituality, mindfulness, thanksgiving, and much needed rest and relaxation.
Heal and rejuvenate your body, mind, and soul.
A time for Hashem, self, family, and community.
Shabbat is a true gift from G-d. 😉

After all the work is said and done…
And there is still so much more that I earnestly hope and pray to accomplish with my life.
Perhaps, then, when I am all grown up, I can have some time to be a sun bum too.
Everyone deserves a little fun. 😉

What can you say, when you see these luxurious, zero gravity, massage chairs?
Yes, ah, that feels so good!
Seriously, you know you want to try it.
Yes, you do.
And you even want to take one home.
Costco’s got these.
You’ve seen others at Sharper Image at the Mall.
They’re not cheap.
This one was like $4,299.
Can you resist the urge to splurge on the ultimate in comfort and relaxation?
Take off your shoes. close your eyes, let yourself drift away.
It’s a better place. 😉

Loved this tie dye hammock by Enonation (Eno) from Australia that I saw at REI.
It’s called “DoubleNest,” so I guess that means it fits 2 people.
So open, colorful, and inviting to rest and relax in.
Sillily, the store only carries the hammock and not the stand…so good luck with that.
Also REI clumsily filled this gorgeous hammock with Nalgene bottles–on sale 30% off!
Uh, if you make even the nicest stuff look like junk for storage, you’re not gonna get the brand image you want.
Anyway, the hammock was awesome! 😉

I just had to share this photo.
Took this in South Florida this week.
These two guys from Sweden sitting at the pool wearing these Christmas tree hats.
This was just too great to pass up.
As I took the photo, one guy gave me the thumbs up and this was just perfect.
I don’t know about you, but they cheered me up even when it seems that the world is otherwise going crazy–in so many ways.
– Politics
– Divisiveness
– Hate
– Fighting
– Injustices
– Suffering
But at the end of the day, it’s about the people–and G-d gives us the power to do good and make happy (or vice versa).
This one made me happy! 😉
