Thursday

On Monday Jonny went to the doctor to get his ears treated. They were impacted with wax. He had been putting in ear wax removal drops. She inspected his ears. She said they were clean. So the thing she said to do was to take decongestant and anti-histamine. This is because his ears had fluid behind the ear drums. His nose was clear too. Jonny's diligence with the nasal flush with salt water has been helping.

He is putting his book The Throat aside for two days. The book is scary. It is exciting. It goes from short story to short story. Each story focuses on one character. They are all connected. The first story was about the author. The book is written in first person. The names of all the chapters are in the front cover. The second story was about someone the first character met. The third story is about a criminal who is caught. At the start of the third story the book switched lock step with the detective genre. It still maintains its horror characteristics, lying beneath the surface. Jonny is on page 200. Only 400+ pages to go.

On Sunday Jonny and his 8 year old son walked 1 mile each way to the temple. They went for a 25 minute walk each way for a 25 minute service. Prior to that they walked the dog Lucy together. That walk took 25 minutes round trip for two blocks round trip. It is hard to say because the street is 3 blocks long. It is definitely shorter than 3 blocks. It has no cross streets just the numbers turns from 1400, to 1300 to 1200. At the 1200's the street curves 90 degrees.

On Monday and Wednesday Jonny listened to RGBESHALACH. Bilam is present in the story. The question is did they get permission or no permission from paro to leave? They sing the praises of Hashem. Also Plishdin was close. Not everyone jumped in the splitting sea -- right away.
