Safe and Sound

The MonkeyGirl is back in Portland, and headed to Boise tomorrow for the bar mitzvah of a friend's little brother.

She seems older somehow. More mature. More sure.

She has a ton of stories (I've heard only a few of them so far), but I think this is my favorite –– The scene: A Bedouin tent in the Negev. Two boys from Jersey in one group, Sara with her group from Oregon.

Kid 1 from Jersey, to Sara:
My friend over there is interested in you.

Sara:
Strike 1 ~ You are talking to me and he's not.
Strike 2 ~ I don't do flings.
Strike 3 ~ I'm involved with someone.

end of conversation. G-d I love that girl.

updated July 3.
