			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>As I was putting my son to bed and massaging his back this evening he said to me:</p>
<p><strong>&#8220;You know the nice thing about being a kid is that you can just let parents take care of things, like if you&#8217;re in a car at night and you&#8217;re worried about where you are you can just let your parents figure it all out and you don&#8217;t have to worry about it.&#8221;</strong></p>
<p>I agreed that that was a nice thing about being a kid, and I said, it&#8217;s also a nice thing about being a parent &#8211; you get to worry about things for someone else.</p>
<p>Funny thing is I honestly can&#8217;t really remember being in that situation late at night with my children&#8230; but it feels like a memory I have from my own childhood.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Here&#8217;s a very rough translation of a little song by Amir Lev.   I know that I haven&#8217;t got the second line right in particular, and I&#8217;ve probably made other mistakes.   I just do this sort of thing as a mind puzzle.  No great message here.  It&#8217;s a nice sad little song, that&#8217;s all.</p>
<p>Update:  I think I figured out the second line, and have re-translated it.   But the last stanza still can&#8217;t be right as I have it.</p>
<p><object width="480" height="385"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/_1qMVE2YXig&#038;hl=en_US&#038;fs=1&#038;"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/_1qMVE2YXig&#038;hl=en_US&#038;fs=1&#038;" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="220" height="180"></embed></object></p>
<p>Arieh and Ruti (Very rough translation, needs work)</p>
<p>Arieh makes Ruti laugh, sitting in a restaurant<br />
He raises one eyebrow like an actor<br />
And Ruti leans and holds his hand<br />
Beneath the table legs entwine</p>
<p>And Arieh in bed waits for her to come<br />
Hears the door as she enters the house<br />
Instead of coming to him she takes her time<br />
Always she bathes for hours</p>
<p>Avalanche in the mountains,<br />
Always thought it would happen some sad day,<br />
A shining palace, in seconds a rubble pit.</p>
<p>One night, Ruti does not return<br />
In the morning, he awakens to the sound of water<br />
Her clothes are thrown across the floor<br />
Again she bathes for hours.</p>
<p>He doesn&#8217;t ask her where she was<br />
Sitting on the sofa, hands raised in surrender<br />
Ruti with a cigarette, nods off to sleep<br />
Instead of one pill he takes two.</p>
<p>Avalanche in the mountains,<br />
Always thought it would happen some sad day,<br />
A shining palace, in seconds a rubble pit.</p>
<p>By the gate a convoy gathers<br />
And Arieh is the first to lie on the trailer<br />
The loudspeaker says to begin the walk<br />
And I looked for Ruti and she was nowhere</p>
<p>Avalanche in the mountains,<br />
Always thought it would happen some sad day,<br />
A shining palace, in seconds a rubble pit. </p>
