Okay. I did it.
I finally went ahead and registered for the convention.
However, unless something changes, I’m only going to be attending online. (Unfortunately, this means that I won’t be able to meet any of my blogging friends – which is the main reason I wanted to go in person. But at this point, it doesn’t look like it’s a realistic option for me.)
Anyway, now that I’m registered, I get to nominate a blogger or two for the NBN flight.
Here, then, are my picks:
1) Baila - Why? Because I figured, hey, why not give proteksiah to a fellow American olah. (No offense intended to those who are neither American nor olim…)
2) Leora and Raizy – For two reasons:
- Altruistic For-the-Good-of-the-Entire-Blogosphere Reason: Because Leora is sure to take lovely pictures, and Raizy is sure to have an amusing take on everything.
- Selfish Reason: Because I would love to meet both of them in person.
So there you have it.
Good luck to all the contenders, and see you (online anyway) at the convention…
I am supposed to feel flattered, but instead I just feel like hiding under the table.
ReplyDeleteYes, Baila would be a great choice! Pick Baila. ;-) Raizy would also be good...but she would have to deal with anonymity issues.
Wow, that's so nice, thank you. I would love to meet you in person too. But it's not possible for me to fly to Israel, I can't leave my kids or my job, even for a short time. And besides, as a former oleh who moved back to America after only three years, I'm hardly the spokesperson that Nefesh B'Nefesh is looking for. I still think that Baila is our best candidate.
ReplyDeleteLeora- what anonymity issues? My name is SuperRaizy, my photo is right there on my blog. I'm not at all anonymous ( ;
Why, thank you Mrs. S. I'm very flattered (as we discussed, you will not be mentioning that small bribe, right?), especially in such great company.
ReplyDeleteBut I have to say I'm disappointed you're not going to show up in person. Oh, well, maybe next year...
Very good choices, all three of them.
ReplyDeleteGood choices.
ReplyDeleteLeora and Raizy - So, Baila it is. And we'll have to figure out another way to meet...
ReplyDeleteBaila - {quickly stuffs envelope into pocket and tries to assume an innocent expression} I have no IDEA what you're talking about...
:-)
Ilana-Davita - If you lived in the US or Israel, I would definitely have nominated you as well!
Jack - I think so too.
