- I have an overwhelming desire to stop writing this blog. I'm going to keep a tally of how many times I go back and add/edit/correct something as I write this.(one, two and three) Something tells me, however, that I should keep on because there might be others out there in writingland, or perhaps less alien environs, that may appreciate someone pondering the challenges facing a fellow ...

- 1. Well, I managed to get back on schedule with the writing, and I'm over half-way done. *does dance of joy* The story is turning out to be very interesting too. 2. I've been thinking a lot about Internet etiquette lately, and I'd like some opinions. What rules, if any do you follow when commenting on blogs? When does discussion become trolling? Do you use comment moderation? Why or ...

- When foreign correspondents come to Jerusalem they often ask me for advice on stories and places from which to witness the various conflicts that play out in this city. Next time, I’m going to buy them a ticket to the Jerusalem Biblical Zoo.I go there every Saturday afternoon with my two-year-old son.
