Bingo.
I've never been there. Was just watching a show on Discovery when I found where you were in NYC. Masada - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Sounded interesting. You're up, King O'Duff (J/K I'm sure you play golf just fine)

Holy crap! I missed the Masada. I have been there and it is a trip! I recommend the trek out there if you get a chance.
