Free

This needs to be noted. Gilad Schalit has been freed. Whatever concerns and worries there are about the swap can wait for just a while. He is back with his family, and for now that is all that matters.

Off the Grid Once More

As noted previously, we will be going away for the last of the fall Jewish holidays, Shemini Atzeret and Simchat Torah. I expect to be pretty much offline from tomorrow morning through Sunday afternoon.

To those observing the holidays, chag sameach once more. To those going to OVFF, have fun and say hi to each other for me.
