Punk spirit
Punk was an idea. I try to make ideas happen. It was an idea that could change lives.

Recent Happiness Experiment entries from the Old Country
Fri 2 April - Jerusalem
Visiting the Kotel with N and D (memories of my father)
Catching glimpses of the Easter action in the Old City around the Church of the Holy Sepulchre
An evening walk passing the abandoned old Jerusalem railway station (near the German Colony) - redolent of a heroic age
Sat 3 - Jerusalem to Bet Chananya
A blazing afternoon in the zoo - especially taken with the tamarins and other monkeys
Visiting Oskar Schindler's grave on my own, first visitor of the day to the Catholic Cemetery
Spotting the remains of a War of Independence convoy on the Jerusalem road at sunset (and a sign to the Burma Road) - memories of my dad (1976)
Sun 4 - Jaffa
Meeting Sandgold & Dafna in Jaffa - my first web-initiated real-life encounter
Touring the street art of Jaffa, above all the Rehov Auerbach derelict house
Jogging along the aqueduct in Bet Chananya - spotting parrots and poppies
Mon 5 - Caesarea & Petach Tikva
Paddling with D at the sea palace in Caesarea
Meeting my cousins Asaf and Guy for the first time, my older cousins Jaffa and Moshe after 15 years, and Ronen, Itzik and families after 34 years (my first trip to the Old Country with my dad)
Playing chariots with D in the hippodrome at Caesarea
Tues 6 - Or Akeva & Akko
A boat ride at dusk to give a view of Acre's walled old city across a dark wine coloured sea
Meeting up with Harold H, an old friend of Ma's, by chance 4 km down the road in Or Akiva
Lunch under the trees at the hummous stall in Bet Chananya, including lemon and mint drink
Wed 7 - Tel Aviv
Reading under a palm tree in a quiet court of the beautifully architected Ben Gurion airport
Playing basketball one-on-one with D in Bet Chananya
A display of Independence Day posters on the big slope at Ben Gurion
