Poetry is the shadow cast by our streetlight imaginations. -Lawrence Ferlinghetti, poet and painter (b. 24 Mar 1919)
The true story of Israeli Holocaust
Survivor, Yoran Freidman, based on Uri Orlev's best selling novel, Lauf Junge lauf, (Run Boy Run)
Yoram Friedman and his family were imprisoned in the Warsaw Ghetto, from which his father escaped. Yoram, six, was smuggled out of the ghetto. In a field he met his father, who instructed him to change his name and taught him a Christian prayer. As the German soldiers approached Yoram fled but his father was shot. Yoram was apprehended by an SS officer who placed him with a German woman. While working in the field, Yoram's hand was caught in a thresher. In the hospital the gangrenous arm was severed. A peasant smuggled him out of the hospital, and Yoram found work as a cattle-boy. In 1962 he immigrated to Israel.
Hi, Patrick: Well, planning our "India seminar" is proving to be an epic challenge, with a similar degree of constraint on both sides!!!!!! As it happens, I have a weekly personal-training session mid-day on Mondays, to which I am quite committed -- especially with my Camino jaunt looming. (I also have training sessions on Wednesdays and Fridays, in the evening, after work).
Last night in Paradise , Bel Ayr Brats !! Patrick James Dunn Babes not Brats!]
But what time and where is your weekly bridge date? And is it a post-dinner sort of thing? Some possibilities: get together mid-afternoon (around 3 p.m.?) for "tea" (in reality, treats, including GF, of course). Or instead of tea, get together at the same time, look at pictures etc., and have an early dinner so that you can get to bridge. Would work well for me, in terms of getting geared up for the gruelling :-) work-week ahead. (This all presumes you coming over here -- it's my turn to host, and I would like to!)
In terms of the date, any upcoming Monday (including Easter Monday) works for me, up to April 20th. Flying off to Spain on the 27th!!!!! What do you think? Bye for now (work beckons!) J.
Hi Janet! As you mention, our "India seminar" seems to be turning into a Sanskrit saga, indeed! Perhaps Christianity can save us, inasmuch as Easter Monday might very well be best time for us. I won't be playing bridge that day so you decide whether brunch or an early afternoon tea is best, based on your training session. (Don't miss it. Understand completely! Let us know and we'll plan accordingly. Cheers, Patrizzio!
Dear Corinne, Namaste & Greetings from Luxe India!! Many thanks for the passport copies. I shall proceed further and book the Domestic air as per the mentioned details. Thanking you. Warm Regards, HAVE AN INCREDIBLE DAY! ™ Urvashi Gaur | Senior Executive Luxe India Thanks Corinne – it’s getting exciting.
Patrick James Dunn Hadn't expected sun to shine today so when it did I just kept going! Too nice a day to be inside, at least for most of the afternoon! Wayne Sutherland Did the loop around Stanley Park myself today. Felt good first time since my Surgery to do 2 hours. Patrick James Dunn Well done, Sarge! Onward!
I set off around 11:00 am and dipsy-doodled my way around Olympic Village, Science World, Seawall to Granville Bridge before making for Kits Point. Had about 55 km on the clock by the time I headed for Spanish Banks, so about 63 km logged at the start of the UBC Foreshore Hill. With this distance it really wasn't much trouble to add a 16th/Imperial loop, once on campus, and then I was set to complete a 100+ km ride when heading back along Chancellor. Sun had started to shine about 12:30 pm and it was such a glorious afternoon that I couldn't even begin to think about not going this distance. Pleased that I did as I gather will start to deteriorate tomorrow. Stats for ride:

Home by 4:00 pm to shower and change and then eat a delicious supper of Clarisse's macaroni and cheese, along with some tasty sausages she brought over. Once I'd defrosted the latter I cooked them up with some fresh ginger and onions. Everything tasted so scrumptious that I was almost sorry that I had to leave to take Aquabus to Hornby to then walk to Cinematique to see Run Boy Run.
What a heart-wrenching tale, yet finally inspiring, a true testament to the will to live, to survive in spite of terrible, terrible circumstances and yet retain the ability to trust and love and even though it sounds improbable if not impossible, to laugh. After the screening, I thanked Ian, the VFFS organizer, and then walked home over the Granville Bridge. Quite a lovely evening in spite of a few drops of rain about halfway across bridge. Didn't come to much and by the time I was back on 4th there was no precipitation at all. Home to find Cora Lee watching the Y&R, of course! Persuaded her to catch up on the two episodes of The Killing she was behind so while she did that I scribed. Don't mind seeing it again as doing so gives one the opportunity to catch things missed on first go around. Only hoped she would want to
watch one more episode before we headed to bed to read. In fact, we did
watch next in series and this one really plumbed the moral depths of the two main detectives. Pretty intense, let me tell you!

I would love to the UHaul drive up to your new digs with ya but I will be in house construction mode 24/7 at that time and I am the entire labour force. More on that shortly. Look forward to seeing new digs. They look great in pics. Fond regards to you and C, W
Hi Morita Man and Picture-Poifect Jane! Loads of developments for you, Giggster, what with new pup, (Looking forward to seeing pooch.), and impending construction. Don't worry about U Haul but don't hold your breath regarding reservations at Burns Boarding House! At least moving brings out the real character of so-called friends! Interesting that both you and Sarge are otherwise engaged. However, joke is on you as actual moving date is a month earlier!!! Fondestos from Mme Coriandre to you both. When are you back in town? Cheers, Patrizzio, aka Robert De Niro in Jacknife, who drives semis with more than wild abandon!
