pittsfield-jew

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?

Guest List

How in the world is Angelina going to get the guest list? Diedrich Bader, Cloris Leachman, Erika Eleniak and Jim Varney are on that list. Jim said he and his group are coming, but they won't eat anything. Now come on. Angelina says the synagogue is strictly kosher. The food at the JCC will be strictly kosher. Earlier today Angelina wanted to know if Wendell had paid his deposit. So Jonny emailed him. Very reluctantly. Well that went ok. He wrote back one word. Yes. Jonny has been listening to Naso on his MP3 player. He is on the second listening to it. He went to his car today to take a nap. What else is new? He relaxed and let go. He read a chapter of From a Buick 8. Now he is on page 190. He listened to the parsha while relaxing, while walking to and fro. It is great. It is better than listening on the computer. He can walk to the kitchen, get coffee here in Hollywood. He can water the plants. Jonny can warm up a pizza and clean his plate, brush and floss, all while listening to the MP3 player. In school the students are going to have to take the midterm next week. Jonny wanted to do his online class today but now it is time to blog. Ooops went onto an internet tangent. But Jonny is back now. He was reluctant to learn yiddish because so much of what he know is wrong/questionable. Like the word noodge or nudge. This link explains it one way http://partners.nytimes.com/library/magazine/home/20001008mag-onlanguage.html but that is long and boring. This link http://www.yiddishdictionaryonline.com/ thinks the word is nudge in english and נודזש in yiddish also spelled nudzh and pronounced noodze. Jonny was always "taught" the word was pronounced as noodge. Or somewhere between a nudge and a noodge. See according to Yiddish a nation of words a yid likes the taste of loshen on his loshen. He likes the taste of a yiddish word in his mouth. So go say something like shlub kup and vont without laughing. Tonight Jonny will among five thousand other chores lookup weinreich's definition of noodge. But it probably changed between when he wrote it and now. He died 1 year before Jonny was even born. Last night Jonny called his mother. He and Kristina chatted like old friends for almost half an hour. Jonny started reading an ebook on his mp3 player called the aliens. He is up to chapter 30 of Plain English at Work, The title of the chapter is handling questions and answers. Jonny tried to incorporate some of what he learned in chapter 29 entitled giving your presentation - in the excel chapter 2 class. He figured out how to underline. Edit the html. Use the u tag. He practiced his Torah for 20 minutes from 10:40 to 11 last night and stretched for the first time in a while. You know what they say curiosity killed the cat and satisfaction made him fat. "Our nap lasted only a while. I think we should sleep awhile longer." per the web site. And lest he forget, he finished the CD Fahrenheit 451. Angelina bought stuff to plant at the farmer's market. Jonny has pt at 5 today next to the library. So he plans to kill those future evil times in the car by picking up another Bradbury right next to where oh for the last time spell the stupid word right, Fahrenheit 451 was. The granite counter is in the kitchen now. The cabinets have been going up. More work tonight. Not by Jonny of course of course. The handyman said the paint job was excellent. Jonny knows the ceiling looks awful. Believe it or not Jonny was in the car 3 times countem 3 times since the book was done. He had to listen to am radio. Clinton is almost out? Well there was the trip to school. The trip home from Lowes last night. There was the trip to work today. There will be the trip to the ice cube tonight. Ughh he needs a book on cd now. Even though he drives about 6 miles a day. On some days.
