From the road in Israel: so have you guys ever heard of the Druze? Mostly, my new lifelong best friends with whom I have forged lasting friendships that will no doubt last a lifetime and I are marveling at the secrecy surrounding them and their religious practices, and our interest was especially piqued by being told that the Druze won't accept us as converts. (We wouldn't join any club that would have us, etc etc.) As a result of our affection and fascination for the Druze, we've spent a lot of time giggling about puns, inventing the tv show Druze Clues, the movie Druze Brothers (starring Tom Druze), reading Nancy Druze detective stories, driving our cars using Druze control, partying on a Druze Cruise, founding the groups Druze for Jesus and Jews for Druze, and in a few days visiting Druzelem.
The Mediterranean Sea's pretty nice, too. Oh! We just passed a camel while I was typing this. And a final word before I get back into the business of riding this bus: I join Mike and Maureen in wishing Shara well. She will be missed, for sure, by all of us, but I will especially miss her relentless championing of me. That, and the private room karaoke. Stellar. See you next week!
