Something for everyone, or just me.
Nothing makes me laugh quite like my collection of t-shirts from Israel. I’m always searching for a lost shirt, one that said “The ShinBet is watching you.” in Arabic.
Another favorite is this one.

Until I recently, and completely, changed my style of professional attire - the navy pea coat was my jacket of choice.
