In other sleep/awake news, my mom is back in the states for a couple weeks over the holidays. After 24 hours straight of traveling, she called me at 6:30 to let me know she got into Erie okay yesterday, and then went to bed. Given that it was 1:30 in the morning for her and I doubt she slept much on teh plan, I think that's understandbale. My dad arrives in DC on the 18th or something and Ben and my mom get in from Erie on the 19th I think. Anyway, it'll be nice to be able to spend a little time with my family over the holidays. Ben's going back to Tel Aviv with my parents after New Year's, and I hope that I can get out there too at some point.
