Friday

Jonny had half day off today. Hopefully he passed his online class. The head of the online class he is teaching is already giving him access to his class to review it. So it will be a big joke if he fails the online class on teaching online. Which by the way was a big waste of time. That is probably the theme of today's post a big waste of time. And how that make Jonny so angry. He wasted a ton of time waiting for the bus and then going to work. When he got to Hotel California, Penny made him work on the pancreas numbers. That is done. Now he doesn't feel like doing anything else. So he fell asleep. Then he went to the lounge to eat an apple. He was listening to Korach at the bus stop but some girls asked for directions to the Salvation Army and then the battery died. Or the "song" skipped back a song. So need he needs to ff to the right spot in the lecture. Today Angelina is meeting him at the walkin urgent care to get the staples out of his head. She paid for the golf outing and the girl collecting the money had her supervisor send out an email that she was quitting. Jonny went off to the lounge to read up to page 89 of Love is the Killer App. He plans to return Shalimar the Clown. He has no more interest in Kashmir or India or as Lawrence his friend used to say "I don't care what happens to these characters". This lovecat book is a waster of time too. But it is short. The CD by Rushdie is long on Shalimar the Clown. Jonny is already tired of the narrator's Indian voice. Tired of the endless story.

In Korach, Jonny learns that Korach made jokes. He connected last week's parsha to this one because of the thread of the tallit. When he jokes he makes something important diminished all the way unto nothing. He made 250 tallit for his followers made out of tallit strings without fringes. So they weren't koshe tallit but it was his big joke on the Mitzvah. And that is how he had the strength to go up against Moshe.
