were in the marina in Herzliya.  It says it all.  Enjoy, Dan</div> </tD> </tR> <tR> <tD VALIGN=TOP HEIGHT= 1050 ><NOBR><bR> <div> It's Thursday evening in Tel Aviv and we are sitting on the foredeck </div> <div> on JULIA listening to a live jazz band playing beautiful easy French </div> <div> jazz. We are the first boat inside the locked gate area of Herzliya </div> <div> marina and so we couldn't have a better location for hearing and </div> <div> seeing the music played at the Yacht Club's Thursday night music </div> <div> festivals. There are hundreds of people because tonight the music is </div> <div> such a great mix of easy French jazz combined with a bit of Israeli </div> <div> folk, and the music is so wonderful, it's pretty much standing room </div> <div> only. Except for us. We sit on the foredeck, best seats in the </div> <div> house behind the locked gates.</div> <div> I look up and see a boy standing at the gate, staring at the </div> <div> boats...staring at me...and I see none other than myself so many </div> <div> years ago standing at the gate staring at the boats, at the lifestyle </div> <div> that I oh so dreamed of...and I realize that I am looking at myself. </div> <div> I am lucky. I stood at the gate and decided that I would settle for </div> <div> nothing less than being on the other side of the gate...that I wanted </div> <div> to be the one sitting on the boat and I made that happen. I hope so </div> <div> much for that boy that he too will turn his dreams into reality and </div> <div> also find himself on the inside of the gate rather than the outside.</div> <bR> <div> The helicopters continue to fly overhead, the violence continues to </div> <div> heat up, the last bomb blast went off just 15km north of here, and </div> <div> yet the Israelis are listening to French jazz at the marina. They </div> <div> are the experts in appreciating life and getting all they can out of </div> <div> it and I have to say that I have learned a lot from their attitude.</div> <bR> <div> This all is such a contrast to me, because on the negative side I </div> <div> have just laid out $7,000 for an entirely new refrigeration system </div> <div> that is being shipped today from Italy, and a new air conditioner </div> <div> that is being shipped today from the U.S. Having not slept the last </div> <div> 3 nights because of the heat has made me a bit delirious and perhaps </div> <div> I have gone over the edge, but it seems to me that I should be making </div> <div> every moment as great as I can. </div> <div> After all, what is money's value if not spent? And what is life's </div> <div> purpose if not to enjoy the one life that we are given? So, enjoy </div> <div> life to it's fullest! </div> <div> Climb your mountain, cross your ocean, get your degree, get your </div> <div> promotion, quit your job, quit your career, marry, divorce, move, do </div> <div> whatever it takes to make you happiest in this life. For as far as I </div> <div> can tell, this is it; this is all we get, so get up, put your </div> <div> climbing boots on and go for it! And don't be the boy behind the </div> <div> gate...be the one inside...</div> <bR> <div> Love and Shalom,</div> <div> Larry and Ken</div> <DIV ALIGN="LEFT"></DIV> <div> S/Y Julia                                   <IMG SRC="54ffabc0.jpg" border=0 width="250" height="188" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></div> </NOBR></tD> </tR> </TABLE></div> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <div> <B>Verdi's Requiem in Tel Aviv</B></div> <div> <TABLE BORDER="2" CELLPADDING="2" CELLSPACING="1" WIDTH="559" BORDERCOLORLIGHT="#C0C0C0" BORDERCOLORDARK="#808080" FRAME="BOX" RULES="ALL" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0" BGCOLOR=#FFFF66 > <tR> <tD VALIGN=TOP HEIGHT= 208 WIDTH="130"><div> While in Israel, four of the 12 rally boats went to a classical music concert featuring <B>Verdi's Requiem </B>conducted by Zubin Meta.  The performance was fantastic.  </div> </tD> <tD VALIGN=TOP WIDTH="410"><div> The URL:  </div> <bR> <div> <A HREF="http://www.geocities.com/Athens/Agora/1985/index1.html " TARGET="_top" TITLE="http://www.geocities.com/Athens/Agora/19"><U><B>http://www.geocities.com/Athens/Agora/1985/index1.html </B></U></A></div> <bR> <div> This site is dedicated to Verdi's Requiem.
