Seriously, rum and cake, you can't go wrong.
But these ladies may actually have the best of the best out there! ;-)

Am Yisrael Chai!
I love the Merkava IV, Israel's main battle tank.
The shape, the versatility, the power!
Complete fighting awesomeness.
The new "Merkava IV Barak" (scheduled for deployment in 2021) will even have artificial intelligence (AI) for advanced battle management systems.
I wish we had the Merkava during the Holocaust and could've given the Nazi bastards what they rightfully deserved.
Never again! ;-)

The Best Jobs 2020 and Beyond
They are not the ones that just pay the most!
Here are the three criteria to look for in your next dream job (aside from the money):
1) Autonomy - Work that is self-directed provides satisfaction that jobs that are closely or micro-managed do not.
2) Mastery - Jobs that allow you get better at them over time (technical proficiency) provide a sense of mastery and self-respect.
3) Purpose - When you have a deep sense of purpose and meaning from your work there is simply no greater motivator and satisfier than this.
I'd also add that the best places to work are the ones with:
- The best bosses and the nicest people
- A solid balance for work and life
Overall, if we can reconnect the profit motive with the purpose motive then we have truly have the best jobs out there. ;-)

Favorite Chocolate Pastries
They are liked over-sized or really supersized Rugelach.
When these come out of the oven, the soft, hot pastry dough interspersed with overflowing, dripping layers of chocolate are unbelievable!
This mound of chocolate pastries is from Mahane Yehuda Market in Jerusalem.
OMG, I can't wait to visit again and have one (or more) of these--totally lose all self control! LOL ;-)

Best Chicken Lo Mein (Kosher)
At China Bistro and Sushi in Hollywood, Florida.
Order the extra chicken for a couple of bucks.
Well worth it!
Steaming hot from the wok.
And don't forget to make it extra spicy! ;-)

Best Cup Of Tea
- Cinnamon
- Lemon
- Ginger
- Mint
What's so great is you can actually see the cinnamon stick, mint leaves, and lemon and ginger slices.
It's completely fresh and healthy, and not just from a tea bag or minced up tea in a tin.
To me, this looks absolutely appetizing and delicious!
Usually, I'm a Snapple Iced Tea type of a guy, but for sure, I'd go for some this fresh tea from Israel...L'Chaim! ;-)

Most Amazing Sculpture
Let me explain why?
It looks like a bust of a woman with a fine fabric lace veil over hear head and face.
But believe it or not, the veil is part of the sculpture.
And her eyes are just shadows of it.
In other words, there is no veil or eyes.
The museum tour guide pulled out a flashlight and pointed it and her eyes and they were gone.
How any artist can have such a divine gift to make something like this is really beyond me.
All I can do is stare in complete marvel at this sculpture of a veil covering this woman's face. ;-)

Best Bag 2016
Just wanted to share this photo of this great bag that I saw on the street in Downtown, DC.
While it wasn't the largest or most functional...
I really liked the design, colors, and all the pockets.
A little military looking, contrasted by the rips, peace sign, and swirl made it even cooler.
For some reason, I don't think you can get away with wearing it to the office though. ;-)

Wine Bottle Extraordinaire
Apparently, a very talented lady in there makes these special bottles.
Unfortunately with the lighting, this picture does not near do them justice for how exquisite they looked.
They were in different colors of lacing, with beautiful beads, hamsas, and other decorations, as well as pictures of our honored sages, and their names in hebrew over the photos.
I asked facetiously one lady who was taking home a bottle whether she was going to drink it all that evening, and she pulled the bottle close to her and leaning in to me said, "This is going in my display case!"
And that truly is where these belong...they are amazing.
The wonderful lady that painstakingly makes these gave how many of them charitably so they could be auctioned for benefit of the synagogue.
Aside from a wonderful soul, this person is very talented and should seriously start a business with these because they are awesome! ;-)

Best Animated Shoes
My daughter found these on Youtube
They are made by this unboring shoe company in the U.K. called Irregular Choice.
Walking on the back of a dragon cannot be a bad thing.
Stepping alternatively on the bride and groom--maybe an interesting perspective on the ins and outs of marriage.
They also have a neat pair of Panda shoes.
Check these out, I think you'll look cool and really like it. ;-)

World's Most Beautiful Elevator
It contains a cylindrical elevator inside a 1 million liter fish tank filled with 1,500 fish of 50 species.
If you can't get to the ocean, then bring the ocean to you--spectacular! ;-)

World's Nicest Ballerina Umbrella
But with the right umbrella even Frankenstorm can be tamed, a little bit.
That's why I wanted to share with you this picture of the nicest umbrella that I've ever seen--it has dancing ballerinas all the way around.
And if you like the umbrella, there are bags and totes to match.
I found these hanging in the gift shop at the Kennedy Center in Washington, D.C.
Personally, I opted for a music box for someone special, but I still had my eye on that umbrella. ;-)

Best Frog Slippers
They are also uncomfortable.
Someone I know refuses to replace their old slippers and they have an unsightly hole at the big toe--name withheld to protect the guilty. ;-)
And I have a old pair of Kung Fu slippers that look mean and are good for building calluses, but otherwise not so good.
However, these frog slipper that my daughter got are great!
They are actually more like sock-slippers, but they win #1 in my book.
Who wouldn't walk a mile in these and still be smiling?
