Feeling busy? Overextended? Are your kids getting in the way of your social life or career goals? The ever-creative and cutting edge Israeli start-up industry has a solution for you.
Where were they when my kids were younger? I remember thinking that if I have to play one more game of Candyland, I was going to throw myself off a tall building.
If you go to the site now, you are directed to an ad for Klalit and Adler parenting classes. It was too slick to be an amateur attempt at humor. I just posted about it.
I am, of course, neither sad, nor heroic nor particularly victimized. What I am is an "ordinary Joe" who was seriously injured six years ago in a suicide bombing while waiting for a bus at the Machane Yehuda open air market in Jerusalem.
Ever since I learned how to write, writing has served as a sort of therapy for me. In the months and years after the bombing, I did an enormous amount of writing. What I was thinking. What I was feeling. How the world reacted to me. How my bombed-out self reacted to the world. Some of the articles were sent to friends and relatives via email lists. Many more of them just sat on my computer. I always meant to do something with them.
Of course, I never got around to it.
This year, I promised myself that I would, at last do something. And since blogging is the best way to do something without having to do all that much (no publishers, no rejections, no work apart from editing), I decided that this was the way to go.
Please comment. I am putting these out so that people will read them. Let me know that you are reading.
