I bought a telekart in the Eilat bus station and started calling travel agencies from the public phone in the hope that I could find Sarah Liebowitz. Fortunately, Sarah had a good reputation in Eilat and the first agency I called gave me the number of her company. When I called Sarah’s agency, a woman with a pleasant, sensual voice answered. The woman had...
XXXVIII Unto the Next Generation Tamara 2097 Not all the residents of the Elysian Nursing Home where Tamara worked were over eighty years old. Some were rather younger. In fact, some were barely seventy. It hardly seemed much of a reward for decades of scrimping and saving for retirement to have to live in a single room in a nursing home before you h...

Raindrops keep falling on my head as I stride through the busy, crowded streets of Boston, Massachusetts. It's a late Monday afternoon in early September and feels more like spring than fall, mainly because of the hot rains we still get from time to time. It's times like these that I miss home the most.

For example -- what motivates certain groups to hold a deep hatred of all things American? Is it our foreign policy? Perhaps there are people who don't like the method in which we go about maintaining world...
THE BIBLE TELLS ME SO OR THINGS THEY NEVER TAUGHT ME IN SUNDAY SCHOOL Why Boaz Married Ruth I remember my mother telling me that Grandma Coit had once said that the Bible was the dirtiest book she had ever read. At the time, when I was in high school, I took that to mean that my maternal grandmother had been conservative in her choice of literature. B...

Conclusion of the Velocity-PSA-Karma series. If you hated the other stories in this series, you won't enjoy this one either. I apologize for the unfortunate names I originally chose for chapters 3 and 4 of the High Velocity PSA-Karma series. I should have stuck with ch. 1, ch. 2... These stories have been renamed. * * * April 15 My office was decorated i...
