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?

Bar hopping

Jonny is up to page 270 of Man Without A Face and page 59 of Peony. He feels that Peony is all about what it is like and not like to be a slave in China in 1850. The Jewish part is with a twisted Chinese perspective. Speaking of Jewish. Jonny is listening to Torah Gems, parsh Terumah. His blood pressure is up again. On Friday morning it was as low as 114 / 77. But last night it was consistently 150 / 100. Jonny's cousin is getting married. Richard Ziman is going. Nancy Ticotin isn't. There is hotel rooms reserved for $89. Angelina says he can go to Dallas for one Saturday night. There is a Bar Mitzvah in Ann Arbor. It is for Patrick Cranshaw. Alberta is in the Torah reading honors. Jonny will being doing a blessing of the Torah. But not chanting a portion. That honor is all Alberta and Patrick's. Meanwhile Richard says that Wendell Pierce and Kristina Krofft are willing to pay for Jonny and Richard's room and they can room together as brothers instead of a group of three or four: 2 kids and their parents. Besides: Jonny is 40, Richard 33, Wendell 62 and Kristina 61. This of course will be low priority for Angelina to arrange and that causes some strife in Jonny's mind, since his parents will think that he and his wife are cold and heartless and unwelcoming to the rest of the family. So what. Just leave them alone. At this moment though, Jonny is fighting with his wife Angelina too. She is complaining about the Mortgage man they have to meet with tomorrow. She is complaining about raising Alberta a 13 year old girl. End of problem. Jonny says ship her off to Richard. She would love to get away from her mother, meet her uncle and love, love, love the San Diego weather. Unfortunately Angelina doesn't think that way.

Oh yeah Jonny's family had Chinese food with Ernie Lively. Amy Golden was with her mother for the spring break. They ordered Peking duck three days in advance. The food still took 45 minutes to carry out. Then afterwards around 9 PM Jonny and Ernie walked 2 miles into town. They began their bar hopping.

Well off to check Jonny's voicemail on his cell phone. And to do some more forms in the hideous VASE product.

    Sounds like a lot of family drama. No stranger to that myself.
