Week 29 Mordechai Kirshenbaum
- You picked a bad time to send the boys to Israel. This weekend is going
be very hot and very humid in Tel Aviv (92 F and 80% RH) and extremely hot
inside the country (117 F in the Jordan Valley). I have arranged for them a
hotel in Tel Aviv, near the Mediterranean Sea so the boys will enjoy the
cool air in the hotel or run 100 yard and enjoy the sea. The weather is
going to cool down on Monday so they can go out the hotel and do some paper
work. I shall take care that they drink enough water.

Week 30 Leland Woodall
- It's roasting in NC right now, so the guys and I will have some early
morning golf this weekend.  Next week they can assist me with writing work
instructions for our rework department.  Joy, joy, right?
