Everything is packed- the bag is packed, and the caravan (trailer home) is all cleaned up and all my stuff put in the closet or the back bedroom so the rest of the space can be used for guests over the summer.
Squeakers is officially on the streets, the sheets and towels are all washed and folded. One plant, recently infested by ants, has been dumped on the front yard, on top of the cigarette butts, dog-eaten diapers and David Fuchs' old pants (right next to a discarded toilet brush-- this is trailer living, folks).
It's good-- I look forward to this summer: quality time with Patrick, doing some professional Torah writing, hanging out in New England with family and, of course, teaching again for the first time in 2 years. Wow!
I went to the ma'ayan (ritual bath fed by a natural spring) and purified my this and that so I can fly to America straight and on task.
Right now, I am naked as the day I was born (plus 2 earrings and more hair in most places), about to take my final shower here in Bat Ayin before heading down for 2 more hours of study. After that, beer and Spiderman in Jerusalem, and then the cab to the airport picks me up a little before 2am outside the "Paht Junction Skewer House."
Chicken hearts, anyone?

Rav Avraham Azulai, the father of the Chida, says that people who are born in chutz la'aretz are born with a soul from the level of asiyah. When they make aliyah they get a new soul from the world of yetzirah, when you leave israel though, the yetzirah soul waits for you in israel and your old asiyah soul comes with you to chutz la'aretz..
have fun with your old soul from asiyah :)
just to corret.. i meant great-grandfather of the Chida
