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?

Monday

Another Monday. Jonny just woke up. He was dozing here in Hotel California. Today he felt like trying out oracle self test practice. He got 13 out of 15. Over the weekend Jonny took Alberta to a Bat Mitzvah. It was another girl in her Hebrew Day School class that went from K-5. Something odd happened. On the way Jonny asked. "Are we sitting together?"

Alberta replied "no".

"where should I sit?"

"with Zsa Zsa Gabor's husband".

But when they got there Zsa Zsa was no where to be found. Neither was her husband, her son Patrick Cranshaw, or her daughter Lisa Haley. Lisa is the same age as Lorraine Bracco, but she goes to the Hebrew Day School. So Jonny ran over to Alberta. "where should I sit?"

"With anyone you know."

He looked around, but for some reason didn't see his old neighbors: Bill Maul, Jennefier Badger, Margo Winkler, or William De Meo. Margo is one year older than Lorraine and goes to the elementary school that Angelina didn't want her kids to go to an that is why they moved. William is a year older than Jesse. So Jonny did see Cloris Leachman. She has several children and a husband, none of which were there. The daughter looks like the actress in Scary Movie 2, but is only a grade older than Alberta.

Wow Penny just walked out of her office. She was so quiet, maybe she was sleeping too. She dyed her hair red. It looks so gross. It was white or gray before. She never ever talks to Jonny anymore.

So Jonny asked Cloris if this seat was taken. She said no but she had to Gabie soon. For those who don't know. That means she helps read the Torah. The person assigned to chant the Torah, might make a mistake. Her job is to whisper in the person's ear no say the word this way. A thankless job, similar to Jonny's programming.

Later on it is revealed to Jonny why he didn't see Zsa Zsa Gabor's husband or her or the rest of her family. The reason is so obvious. As late as Jonny and Alberta were around 10 AM. The other family was even later. Jonny looked up and saw them walk in. Now Patrick is a full head taller than Alberta. Alberta leaned up to his cheek and what appeared to kiss him. Cloris was like wow did you see that. Jonny was like yeah that was amazing. Really though she was whispering in his ear hey the alumni members of the Hebrew Day School have to come up and lead the "oshray". For those of you who don't know that is a prayer. The first word of the prayer is "oshray". So not spread Loshen Hora, but Jonny did have to tell Angelina about this. So at dinner, the whole family was laughing and teasing Alberta about the "kiss".

Jonny has to take a break now.

Amazing Jonny took a bathroom break an no emails. They always seem to arrive when he is off at the bathroom. He did get a chance to read a little in the bathroom. Jonny is up to page 114 of Peony and he is up to page 309 of Man Without A Face.

Jonny has gotta go get a drink of water.

Penny is probably not back from wherever she went. After Jonny got water he went to check on Dabney Coleman. Dabney is a data clerk and works four ten hour days. Penny is his boss. She complains that he calls in sick a lot. Today seems to be no exception. Her staff complain she doesn't send emails "hey so and so is sick today. Phone call. It was the cancer center. Jonny thought he heard noises in the office behind him. Just when he was vigorously typing about Penny. Now it is quiet again. When does she do back in there?

Earlier today Jonny froze to death. Then he went to Death Valley. This was for some meetings that were planned in advance. They were a waste of time. Jesse had his meeting with his urologist today. So Angelina has been anxious about that all day, for days now. The two of them have been over eating. They watched an episode of Cold Case. In the meantime Jonny was playing with his candle. She got up early and actually let Jonny sleep in a bit. Suddenly Alberta felt too sick to go to school. They had a week long break. The plan was for Jonny to drive Lorraine to school and then go to his meeting. But Alberta recovered. She was dropped off first at around 8:30. Next Lorraine was dropped off closer to 8:45. Jonny spent several minutes straightening Alberta's hair with a machine. His back was hurting from the old mattress. He arrived in Death Valley closer to 9 AM. So he settled in for a short nap.

Sorry this post has gotten way too long. Time to end it for today.
