The Portrait of a New Yorker as a young dreamer (1)

Yaron born Israel has a master in Jazz music at the Conservatory in Haifa. Lived in Japan for three years working as a cook. He loves his wife, his jazz band and Sunday barbeque with friends.

He's my ipod's most reliable source of old, unbelievably hard to find music.

He married an Asian girl that my Albanian ex-co-worker thought to be black from a picture taken at their dream wedding in Hawaii despite his family discontent.

He was keeping this picture on his desk in the dusty warehouse he was managing. He was a warehouse manager that called himself a dispatcher studying to become a customs specialist while we were colleagues.

He has a Friday cult expressed in his favorite sayings:

• "It's Friday and nobody can take that away from me"
• "Every Wednesday morning while shaving I say to myself : This is the last time I am shaving before Friday"
