I taught 5 units of Berlitz lessons today: 9:00-10:30 and 10:30-12:45. These 2 groups, both consisting of Spanish students, are now my regular Friday morning lessons for a number of weeks to come.
As soon as I finished teaching, I walked down to check on my phone. Unfortunately, it is STILL not ready. I'm not too upset, though, because I'd rather that they be very careful so that a good outcome will be more likely. They're doing surgery on the motherboard.
After that, I walked over to Eilat Wines, in the industrial area, to meet a date who had contacted me online. He's more or less a regular there. So I got to meet a number of his friends, as well. It was an enjoyable and very different way for me to spend a Friday afternoon. Afterwards, he and his roommate gave me a ride home. They live a short distance up the Arava, in Be'er Ora, just across the highway from the new airport that is almost done.
After lighting candles, drinking a little sweet red wine, and eating some challah, I relaxed and then worked on another patch in my synthesizer. This one is meant to be inspired by thunder, although it also sounds a bit like gunshots. I'll probably refine it some more, actually. The number of parameters one can adjust to tweak the sound is almost infinite — it's great fun!
I'm reaching WAY back into my old photos for today's pic of the day. This is a picture, taken from our kitchen window, of a wild gazelle that came to eat the greenery at the end of our driveway in Tsfat on 19 October 2006:
I really don't have much idea at all how far I walked today. It must have been at least 4 kilometers, though.
