Dear Etni producers,

Thank you ever so much for linking my last several entries to my column 
http://www.etni.org.il/teachers/barry/barry.htm.

It gives me great pleasure to click onto this page and see what I have 
written lately, as I don't often remember.

I have been doing this now for ten years.

To the astonishment of my peers ( teachers who use ajacent stalls to mine in 
Hamatmid School's bathroom), I don't get paid any cash for these 
contributions.  The writing, however, has its own rewards.  For example, 
someone threw a bag of hots at my head at a recent convention.  I also enjoy 
free bicycle parking should I ever decide to attend the ETAI in Be'er Sheva. 
I'm told that Nasrallah has one of my satiric pieces taped up to the wall of 
his bunker, and that Archie Bunker has another one hanging up in his 
Nasrallah.

There is a yearly crop of approximately 17 columns a year; coming out 
irregularly like a case of the runs.  So, teachers, in your copious free 
time between going to 'retraining ' sessions and hunting down project 
plagiarists, you may want to visit the main page and re read some of your 
favorite pieces. I recall that I once wrote one about Tu Bishvat.... and, in 
case you missed it, here is the great English Tu bishvat song:

Tune:  Ha Schkay D Ya    Po Rahat:

THE ALMOND TREE IN BLOOM

and THE SUNSHINE FILLS THE ROOM!

BIRDS ARE SINGING IN THE BREEZE,

"HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO THE TREEZE."

TOOBEE SHVAT IS COMING, HOLDAY FOR TREES  X2


YOU MAY also want to check out Shlock Rock's wonderful Tu Bishvat Carnival 
Brazillian number; it can be googled.

Here's the link.

Happy Tu Bishvat!
