Thanksgiving Vacation

On Sunday the week long Thanksgiving vacation will start for Jonny's family. They are going to Pennsylvania.

Jonny listened to Toldot parsha twice, once Monday, once Wednesday as is tradition. It answered the quetion as to why Esau asked for Isaac to pour that red stuff down my throat. Jonny also listened to the parsha chanting today.

Finally he finished the bed book. It was a long title and a short read. The bed book was 156 pages. Not recommended. The next book, was picked out by Lorraine. It is called Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency, by Douglas Adams, author of the Hitchiker's Guide to the Galaxy 5 book series. The author is dead. Jonny also read the sequel to the Dirk Gently first about three years ago. It was moderately funny, science fiction, fantasy like and generally weird. This one is even weirder. It was written in 1987 so it contains a lot timely edititorial. For instance how long it takes to write a computer program. Another example is how useless some areas of academia can be. It even pokes fun a monks are weird remote religious beliefs. Finally we meet the main character Dirk. His name is mentioned on page 38. Just in the nick of time, since without him the book might get tossed right away.

This was a good week. Jonny didn't even have to finish watching Monday night football. The reason for this is because the Cleveland Browns were getting pummelled 16-0. Earlier in the night when the game was live, Jonny went to 4-point Sheraton for some refreshing popcorn bud-lite. At the half time the game was 0-0. In very fast fashion Baltimore Ravens intercepted the ball twice in a row for touchdown run backs. Throw in a field goal, blocked extra point and you quickly have a 16-0 shut out.

We can only hope the same happens to Michigan again Ohio State this weekend in college football. And if by a miracle they win, Michigan gets to go to not the toilet bowl but some other potato chip type bowl, with their hard fought 6 wins. Oops almost spelled potato, Bush style. Thank goodness for blogger spell checker.

Alberta got out of school early by faking a sickness. Jonny watched her play her middle school's arch rivals in basketball. Tappan was victorous by over 20 points. They were winning 13-1 when Jonny arrived with 2 minutes to go in the 1st of four 8 minute quarters. The game ended close to 6 PM. There were at least two injuries on the Scarlett side. There was a girl who glasses got crushed. Another girl who got the wind knocked out of her and was taken off the court, limping and crying. That team was a bit darker than Alberta's team, minus the loud mouth coach her team has. Of course skin color doesn't make or break a basketball player's skillset.
