This week I went to hear Benjamin Orbach, author of Live from Jordan. It seems his publicist found my blog and thought we may have something in common. Well, besides the fact that we are around the same age, are from the same city, we have common friends, are the same religion, went to the same school, studied the same major in college and had many similar experiences in the Middle East, we have very little in common!
Well, I thoroughly enjoyed his talk and look forward to reading his book.
