Alfonso Soriano and Bird Poop

The Nationals put Soriano on waivers. I don't really know how that works because it is after the trading deadline but ESPN thinks it is pretty much a given that the Red Sox and the Yankees will claim him off of waivers. What happens after that is anybody's guess.

Aunt Bryna came in with 3 out of the 4 girls. Elisheva is already in the Army and could not make the trip. The other girls are very tall and were very tired. We are trying to think of interesting things to do with them but not sure we came up with great ideas.

My car keeps on getting dive bombed by the birds who live in the tree in front of our house. It was so bad this morning that I couldn't see out the window. I really don't know what I am going to do about those birds.

I still need to figure out where we are staying for Shabbos but at least are flights are taken care of.

I love you very much and I will see you in less than a week!

Heromiles.com & the Yankees

Last Night's yankee game was on regular TV and I watch from the 4th inning on. It was such a pleasure and the yankees won. Johnny Damon had a triple and a home run. It appears as if the Orioles don't have much of a bullpen.

I was listening to the radio on my way in to work today and there is a great new charity called heromiles.com . Basically, you can donate your unused frequent fliers miles to a U.S. service man or woman so that they can get free flights. I'm sure we have lots of unused miles and I will investigate whether it pays to donate them to this organization.

We have been getting your text messages and it sounds like you are having fun. Camp memories will last you a life time. Enjoy it!

Aunt Bryna is coming in with the girls and will be with us until next wednesday.

I love you very much and can't wait to see you next monday.

Pirates of the Carribean

Dear Jeremy,
How were the final days of your trip to the Adirondacks? How was Cooperstown? Is it worth the drive? You have to tell us all about it on Sunday. Nothing much is new here - just very , very hot. Hopefully it won't be as hot on Tisha B'av. We went to see Pirates of the Carribean - I did not enjoy it and I did not see the first one. I kept falling asleep.It was really long - 2 1/2 hours . We went to a 7:20 movie and got home after 10!! Way too long for me. But Jesse and Josh really enjoyed it.Anyway, can't wait to see you on Sunday.Talk to you soon,Love, MOM
