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?

A mad house

Back home with Angelina it is a mad house. There is no school today. Lea sent an email hold on. She wanted some clarification on Jonny's credit billing program. Penny is behind Jonny talking on the phone. It is so annoying. Jonny finished his book at 373 pages. He still needs to check Amazon to see how the rest of the people enjoyed Death in a Strange Country. He put the book in the waiting room. Hold on let's see if it got taken. No one took it. The lady in the waiting room said that was nice that he puts those books in there. Right now Angelina is home with 5 kids. Annabella and Lorraine are playing together. Alberta is home too. Ernie dropped Amy off for Jesse to have to hang out with. Jonny's windows are in now. But it is -3 outside and one storm window needs to go up on the second floor. Jonny just finished listening to the parsha chanting. Lea email again. OK the program will get when it gets done. Reebok and Nortel are laying off people. Yesterday Jonny heard the Torah Gems first half again and the second half for the first time. He has a really bad back ache. It made his insides hurt. Now the pain has crept down the side of his leg. He isn't sure if it was from stretching too much, fights with Angelina about Kristina or sitting in traffic. This weeks parsha is called Shemot. This means names. The parsha covers grass roots. Also there is a fasting holiday period called Shevouum. The Jews were in there for 210 years. They started with 70 and increased to 600,000 aged 20-40 year old men. They had sextuplets. Moshe's reputation before the liberaton "he was a fighter for justing". There is a vertical line in the Torah separating Moshe's name when he is called by Hashem, as in Moshe | Moshe. A lot happens with the midwives in this parsha.

Yesterday Jonny and Angelina had a good meeting with their "banker". Right now it all rests apon the appraisal. As it stands houses are still going down in value. Jonny's house was sold to him for $250 but was appraised at $290. It has gone "down" in value. But major improvements have been made since then. So if it appraises for anywhere near what it appraised for at the time of sale then it has technically gone up in value and therefore so has Angelina's equity. She can reduce the payments b one or two hundred. And get this the city is going to increase the taxes because the house has gone "up"? Maybe the title of this post aught to be up or down in value?

This weekend is going to be instense. There is a Bat Mitzvah, and a party for it on Sunday night at 8 PM. There is a UM basketball game, Alberta's basketball game, Jesse and Alberta's soccer games at Wide World.
