Congratulations! You're on your way...what to bring? I would add earplugs or headphones/ipod - I found it hard to sleep over the disgusting sound coming from my neighbor's room as he had his stomach wound "suctioned" out ever few hours, come to think of it nose plugs wouldn't of hurt either...

You look sharp in the new pic.  What's with the suit?  Running for office?

Thanks! No not running for public office, but there is sort of a political connection to the reason I was wearing the suit in that photo. It was taken outside the Warsaw Opera House before a performance of a symphony concert that we were invited to while in Poland- also in attendance were the presidents of Poland and Israel.
