1. Cancer was discovered in my chest during a routine x-ray taken as part of my being drafted into the Israel Defense Forces (I lived).
2. My favorite books are Siddhartha, Be Still and Get Going and The Same River, Twice.
3. I don’t ever step into cold showers or an unheated swimming pool.
4. I believe we are all part of One Great Power comprised of physical and metaphysical matter sent spiraling into the Universe by the Big Bang.
5. Just being around my kids brings me great joy, and I’ll always be grateful to them for showing me that the capacity for expanding love is immense.
6. The one and only constant in my life has been my love for and commitment to my wife.
7. If you give me a line from the old TV series The Odd Couple, I’ll be able to recite the next line correctly 90 percent of the time.
8. I am comfortable knowing that the God of my understanding is the God I don’t understand, and that once I think I really understand God, I probably need a bigger God.
9. I was the MVP of the Israel Touch Football League the winter after finishing chemotherapy.
10. I’d rather be merciful than just.
11. Love purple.
12. I wish I could wear an earring and have real long hair but don’t have the guts to do it because of my job.
13. Dishing a pretty assist is much more fun and satisfying than putting the rock in the hole yourself.
14. I can’t ever seem to fully finish cleaning up a physical mess.
15. It is best to stay clear of me on April Fools.
16. If I had to do it all over again I’d be a basketball coach or radio talk show host.
17. I began a career in journalism by reporting undercover from Jordan and Syria for a Jerusalem-based newspaper.
18. Love chocolate.
19. I see the world through a Jewish prism, am guided by the Jewish code, and accept the validity of all things spiritual no irrespective of their source.
20. I have fished in Alaska, hiked up Mt St Helens and down the Grand Canyon, but the most awesome experience was my wedding day,
21. My keys to staying positive are: knowing that pain is a certainty, but misery is an option; realizing the only thing I can control in this world is the way I respond to people and situations; and working on being grateful and generous
22. I have learned that I’m not always good at practicing the above.
23. Sinks full of dirty dishes gross me out.
24. I should have been raised in the 60s, seen more Grateful Dead shows and traveled to the Far East.
25. I think the Beatles were on to something when they advised that, “in the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make.”

Save up to 15%!
We’re stacking up our program choices this fall to help you get more for less!
We know The Center has something to offer all of its members, and we’d like you to be able to participate in more. So, this fall we are proud to introduce a bundling program, for members only, designed to let you make a cone as tall as you are!
Do you always buy a chocolate cone (Kinesis) & a strawberry cone (dance for your daughter) separately? Now is your chance to double-dip and save! Or, triple-dip by adding swim lessons for your son and then quadruple-dip some personal training for your husband, and save even more!
We’ve taken some of our most popular programs and grouped them into four flavor groups. By choosing two programs from any two flavor groups, you’ll save 5% on your total. By choosing three programs from any three flavor groups, you’ll save 10% off your total. And by choosing four or more programs from each of our four flavor groups you’ll save 15% off your total. So, it is up to you! Create any flavor combination you’d like! But, please, do not scoop twice from the same flavor (unless it is your fifth scoop). We’re looking for variety and want your cone to be as tasty as it can be! And if you are a Grand Member, you can add that discount in as well!

We're more than just a pool! Join us for the Summer!
Instead of spending the summer months with restless kids and lazy days, join us at The Center and let us show you how you can get healthier and have lots of fun. Through our state-of-the-art fitness facilities, which offer 60 group fitness classes per week to our pools (wait until you see the pools!) this could be your best summer ever! So, think about it…we can help you make a difference in your health and your lives. There’s no better way to make your family’s summer productive, while really enjoying time together and having a blast!
At the Youth Fitness Zone, your kids ages 6 and over can workout while you do, participating in the PE4Life program. Outside, they’ll splash in our zero-depth pool, race down the two-story slides, play fountain fun zone, and climb the toddler frog slide.
All the while, you’ll have access to babysitting, tennis, racquetball, personal trainers, and an indoor track. Your kids can participate in one of our many summer leagues, such as soccer, blast ball, tee ball, softball, and much more. We know you’ll love our location, too. Right in the heart of Johnson County, we are across from Town Center and next to the Sprint Campus.
Check out why the summer is the best time to be a member of The Center. Call today for a tour, 913-327-8000. And your entire family can join us for the summer starting Memorial Day Weekend, and all the way through Labor Day, for only $399! Individual memberships are only $269. Or, just drop by to 5801 W. 115th Street. We can’t wait to see you this summer!
