Until September 2007, when my oldest daughter was born, this blog covered daily life and politics in Israel, as well as Hebrew-English linguistic issues, from the perspective of an American-raised journalist and translator living in Israel.

The 90th minute ('hadaka hatishim' in Hebrew) is the soccer-derived equivalent of the 11th hour - the moment of time I seem to perpetually inhabit.
The 90th minute was a finalist in the 2007 Jewish & Israeli Blog Awards, in the Best New Blog and Best Personal Blog categories.
