The first post says it all Shalom, This is the home of the Pittsfield Jew. Sure its neat to read about Jews in Brooklyn who are very observant but how about a not so observant Jew who lives in the Mid West?

Trying to get something done

He didn't have much luck. Today at 11AM Jonny went out to his car and took a nap. He listened to this week's parsha first thing in the morning. It was all about Yom Kippur. All about the high priest changing his gowns four times. He also listened to Brachos 56a. This was about dreams. Joseph had a dream and it took 22 years for it to come true. The weather is nice making for a decent car nap. Angelina woke him up with a cell phone call. Later in the afternoon he met with Lea at Hollywood. Rob wants the two of them to get together so Jonny can learn more about the VAX. Jonny has the car today partly because of the weather, bad bicycle accident and because he has to pick up Lorraine and Alberta at religious school. This XML code is running so slow. Tomorrow Jonny is going to try and ride his bike to Hotel California for a meeting in the cafeteria. Over the weekend the whole family went to Saturday morning services. They arrived by car around 10:30 which is their usual 1.5 hours late. Child care starts around 10 any way. Jesse and Lorraine went to that. Alberta and Jonny waited for Angelina to insert the children into their respective areas. There was a little boy who had a Bar Mitzvah ceremony that day too. He gave a brilliant speech about the parsha. He said the lepers were like the prisoner of modern society. You see where that is all going. Jonny went into the back room and had Schnapps with the Rabbi and his friends. Mainly that is Scotch Whiskey. On the way home Alberta, Jonny and Jesse walked. They went via Brockman. They were underdressed for the weather too. They caught up with the Rabbi and his daughter who is also having a Bat Mitzvah within the next year. As they crossed Stadium the groups caught up and then simultaneous split up again. All the while Jonny, and Alberta were talking to Wendell and Kristina on Jonny's cell phone. They are trying to set up a trip with Alberta. Ha good luck with that. Jonny met with Lea today and then went back to his XML. Over the weekend he went to a soccer game in Wixom. He also got lost on the way back missing the US 23 South exit and not turning around until 7 miles later in Howell. Earlier he went to the hardware store for wood for the shed. The moving has been endless. The half pint of Jack Daniels is gone. There is some Winter Beer and some Black Toad beer. Now that Jonny is conscious he (wow got that one right on the first try) he spend a few hours playing in ancestry dot com. Lunch was a chicken chinese salad. Not very Chinese though. Over the weekend they went to a Chinese restaurant with one of Alberta's friends and her mother. They don't have a character yet sorry. Jonny was also playing with linked.com a lot today. Lorraine had a sleep over at Annabella Sciorra's house since they live close now. Lorraine went home crying and didn't sleep over. More with her neck and throwing up. Jonny convinced her that throwing up is linked to what you eat. For the next 24 hours she was fine. They planned to go that Chinese place on Packard two blocks away but it was too crowded after twenty minutes they left and went to Miss Saigon. And it was empty. Jonny had "the best General Tso's Chicken ever". It was good. He had that left over for lunch. He had a trader joe chinese meal for dinner the next day as they had to rush out to Wixom. That is just like Angelina to serve chinese four meals in a row, dinner saturday, lunch and dinner sunday and lunch Monday.
