Just spent the last 3 days with 1200 or so High School kids at the NFTY Convention in Philadelphia - that&#39;s the North American Federation of Temple Youth.  I was in charge of gathering together adult voluntees to compliment the fantastic professional staff.  Quite an experience - we were able to welcome and register each of these kids in record time - they are as well behaved and cooperative as you can every expect - it was a pleasure to learn, sing, pray and eat with the future leadership of Reform Judaism.  Scott Wolf, of Party of Five, Everwood and The Nine fame was honored last night for his work with the Cheir Foundation, an organization dedicated to helping refuges from Darfur and Southern Sudan. Social action and social resopnsibility are very important aspects of NFTY.  Oh well enough I can talk about these young people forever.  Got involved when my own children were active and I guess I became addicted - am now a member of the Regional Youth committee.  <br />

Glad everyone is on the mend and let&#39;s hope the weather gets better each day - after all spring gets closer and closer each day.<br />

Joey will the plan involve moving east???  I remember our conversation in Barcelona.  Change is always stressful even the good change - so don&#39;t worry whatever you two decide will be right and if not you can do something else.<br />

I guess I made up for not being around much the last few weeks.  Everyone enjoy the rest of the day.
