Hi Dan,
First off, nice to meet you! I don't think we talked before, but I think [your
wife?] Jennifer told me you're from Israel.

Wow, that is too similar to what's happening to me... only with a one year
delay (first moved at 3, now a soph :) . I also will return to Israel, go to
the army for sure and university very likely (1). Not to mention I live in
Boston now... weird, huh?

By here you mean US? Or Israel? (And what's the reference?)
I'm sure I'll come visit the US - maybe I can be an honorary member of NELUG
after I turn 18 (although I'll live in Israel :) ... And even if I don't have
anyone to visit I'll have to come periodically and get some lego deals ;)

Interesting... maybe because Israelis have a tendency to become involved in
other people's business... :)
(Not that I mind, I like people being generally interested in what I do more
than people being totally uncaring about me.)

Definitely. Thanks!

(1) I'll definitely *go* to college or university, just not sure if in Israel.
