Tess and I are on our way to Bangkok for a health check-up at Asia’s Mayo Clinic… The Bumrumgrad Hospital. Fortunately they don’t have Mayo prices. Then we spend the rest of the weekend in Bangkok to rejuvenate and refresh.

I was sent a very cute joke the other day that I will share with you… appropriate considering my company and that we recently bought an Israel company, too.

After digging to a depth of 100 meters last year, Russian scientists found traces of copper wire dating back 1000 years, and came to the conclusion  that their ancestors already had a telephone network one thousand years ago.

So, not to be outdone, in the weeks that followed, American scientists dug 200 meters and headlines in the US papers read: US scientists have found traces of 2000 year old optical fibers, and have concluded that their ancestors already had advanced high-tech digital telephone 1000 years earlier than the Russians.

One week later, the Israeli newspapers reported the following: After digging as deep as 500 meters, Israeli scientists have found absolutely nothing. They have concluded that 5000 years ago, their ancestors were already using wireless technology.
