What else has happened? Well I went to six flags with my youth group had a blast. BUTTON MAN!!
I kept the Rabbi's dog while he was away. The rabbi has a pool and I like to swim BUT it was not the right temperature. in fact it was bloody cold. I wanted to wait till after school hours to go swimming but fell asleep and didn't go till four or five in the afternoon. It was extremely chilly outside and I was shivering in my Bathing suit before I even got in the pool (I get cold easy) any normal person would have turned away but I was determined and I knew my sister would rib me for chickening out. I got on the far side of the pool and readied myself. It took a long time to build up the courage to jump into the icy water, I stood at the edge of the pool what felt like an hour but it was probably only five minuets. When I gathered the courage I jumped! and ladies and gentlemen let me tell you it was cold. The breath was knocked out of me as soon as I hit the water and I felt like an eternity before I surfaced again and even longer to get across the pool. It was a lot of fun and what not and now I am tired of posting. Good bye.
Well, well, well, I think I have set a new record for longest time without posting. Oh well I shall bring you up to date.
My brother and his wife came down for Sukkot and we went camping played an awe inspiring prank on Marli (my sister in law) involving dark woods a clown mask and a little bit of planing. The moment of inspiration was when I beheld a "scary" clown mask in wally world I bought it and waited till the camping trip. I asked my brother if I could play a prank on his wife he yes and further more he said he would help me. We waited till it was dark, I pretended to go into the woods to urinate my brother asked Marli to get a bottle of water from the tent that I was hiding behind. When she got close enough I ran out from behind the tent and passed her roaring. she screamed and cursed at me, (ha ha very funny but I wasn't done she didn't notice the mask) As she was having her fit I snuck up behind her and got as close as I could. When she turned around we were face to face. Now one thing you must know is that Marli is terrified of clowns so the effect was incredible. She did not scream (at first) she gasped a look of shear terror crossed her face, she turned so white she practically glowed in the night. although Marli is afraid of of clowns she is a big fan of the Joker from the dark night movie, so after the completely terrified stage, when she started screaming I said that cute little quote from the movie "Why so serious" oh it was marvelous fun but it gets better.
After she was done pounding me in the chest she went to my brother for support. I slipped him the mask and he put it on then put his head in his lap so she couldn't see the mask. When she went for comfort she got another scare. My brother and I laughed our heads off.
Later my brother and I got lost and thought we were on the appilation trail halfway to Georgia. we were actually only about five or six miles from camp but it gave us a good scare.
It was a fun trip and I hope we do it again soon.

I will update more later.
