Wow, thanks for your thoughts Susan! Coming from you -- both as a psychologist and someone who knew my dad -- your comment means a lot!

And if you are in Israel right now, the fact that you took the time to read and share your thoughts is truly remarkable. Then again, you have a track record of meeting intensity with poise and grace. Stay safe!!
