My former boss left on Thursday the 25th to go to Israel with her chorale. She's staying until August 7th. She knew what she was going into, of course. And she still went. Part of me thinks she's absolutely bonkers, but the other part of me thinks she's the dog's bollocks for going, despite all the crap in the area. Also, she's Jewish, so this is a pilgrimage for her. I think that's a great thing, a pilgrimage. I don't really know where I would take a pilgrimage to. I guess it would be Israel as well, but I'm going to wait for peace before I take my Methodist ass over there. Which may mean I'll be waiting for a long time.
