Two weeks from today I leave for Jordan and Israel by way of Chicago. I hope to arrive to the windy city in time to catch Broadway's Million Dollar Quartet - about the one-time jam session at Sun Studios with Elvis, Johnny Cash, Carl Perkins and Jerry Lee Lewis. I don't know how that ties in to a journey to the Holy Land, but who knows when that show will get to OKC...
I have bought shekels and denari, my credit card company knows I am traveling, so now I need to start packing and quit reading the newspaper. Today - outside of Jerusalem - two female tourists were hiking and were stabbed and bound by Palestenians. The American woman died. Kind of sobering on the cusp of my travels. So I will (of course) update my 'last letters' to Jay, Scott, Travis and Ali. And I won't hike.
More soon.
