MRI on Wednesday

Yes it's true. Angelina had to get an MRI today. Jonny had to take half a day off to hold her hand. And what's worse. They didn't go to Hotel California to get it done. They went to the competition. Well Jonny better get to work now. He has been at The Hotel Hilton for an hour. He made a cup of instant coffee and sent an email to a friend. Then he went to the library to meet a friend that he met on the internet who he know wouldn't show up. But Jonny still got a DVD of two and 1/2 men. Angelina likes that comedy. Jonny got back from the bus ride a short time ago. He was able to be in and out of the libary and back on the next #2 bus, less than 15 minutes later. His coffee was still warm. Lorraine's Bat Mitzvah parsha speech isn't very inspiring. It is all about love thy neighbor. Over the weekend Jonny was playing with his pathetic candle. Today Lorraine got invited to yet another Bat Mitzvah. Jonny finished a book. Patriot Games was 503 pages. He later that day started reading D.A. Willis by Connie Willis. This is a very short book. Angelina is having trouble with her legs. She has numbness and pain in them. The doctor sent her for this emergency test today. Well Jonny had better get busy: going to the bathroom, irrigating hisnose, cleaning the bathroom, watering the plants, relaxing and letting go, taking a nap and touching base with Rob.

Mood is a good one

For Jonny the mood was a good one. He was happy and jolly on the bus and in the lunch room. Then boom the after lunch coffee and the after lunch lulls. He feels kinda groggy now because he had what Angelina calls "her 20 minutes". Jonny woke up around 1:45. He got right back into programming ASP.NET. He hasn't done anything else today. No other data entry tasks. He has no plans to go to Red Hawk. Jonny went there on Friday and had two Great Lakes beers. Jonny also went there on Tuesday. But right about now he is running out of money. Today it was too cold in the morning to ride a bike to work. So he took the 8:17 #14 bus, which gets him late to work. Lorraine picked him out a new book. The book is called To Say Nothing of The Dog. And Jonny is on page 40. Cell phone. It was Angelina of course. She was calling to complain about her students. Over the weekend Jonny froze at Alberta's soccer game. Also over the weekend Jonny talked to Wendell. But Jesse got him off the phone before Wendell could wine too much about the beach or the Shenandoah. Tonight is a concert at Jesse's school. Again this week is a double parsha. So Jonny listened to Acharei. He didn't really pay that close attention. OK if Jonny were trying to hit more tags... Over the weekend Lucy the dog had a blow out. It smelled so bad so yep, he pulled out the cherry flavored scented candle. He played with that most of the morning. Today Jesse has a doctor visit at 3:20. This visit is for his hand. About two weeks ago, Jonny and Jesse were wood working. Has the splinter ever come out? During the week Angelina bought some lox, because she was in the mood for it. Even thought Jonny has been programming hard:

10:25 water plants
10:32 timesheet
10:44 fonts of email
10:46 adjusting volume

Jonny thinks his book has hidden English humor. He needs a laugh track to tell him when the jokes are being told. It starts slow like One Man Running did. Cell phone. Angelina wants to know how much texting will cost.

cleaning

Today Jonny was cleaning the bathroom of the Hilton Hotel. He looked in the mirror and decided it was time to get out the Gleam. He had just finished shaving.

Earlier it was snowing. It didn't take long for the first sirens to go off this morning. Jonny was walking Lucy. The sidewalks were icy and the ice was covered by snow. If he forgot where the frozen puddles were then he might slip.

Last night he and Angelina were unable to watch TV. None of the shows were recorded. Two nights ago they watched the last Cold Case episode. Over the weekend they watched the other Cold Case episode. They also so Without A Trace. Criminal Minds is a repeat tonight. They have the DVR set for Sunday and Monday night for more old runs of Without A Trace.

This week's parsha was Tezaveh. Jonny listened to the RG version two days in a row. The scholars say this is the first parsha without Moshe. This happens because Moshe says take me out of your book. What happened was that G-d was upset with the Israelites because of the incident with the Golden Calf. Moshe said if you will punish them then I don't want to be a part of your Torah. Since Moshe was only a little bit joking about that, this parsha is the pay back for that empty gesture. It is like ok here is what it feels like to not be a part of the Torah. Moshe's name is mentioned in every single section of the Torah from Moshe's birth to his death.

Jonny is up to page 258 of The Hunting Wind. Last night while helping Angelina with preparation for her class she is teaching, he was playing with his candle. He is still trying to recycle that last little bit of red spicy ?flavor? A candle has a scent not a flavor but that is how it goes.

Tuesday

As usual the post is titled Tuesday instead of something more creative.

Jonny has been having a rough time. Today he can't find the spreadsheet with the fake names. This is because it is on a network drive that didn't load. But that's ok. The music is good. The heat is on and it's snowing outside. "...Put on your red shoes and dance the blues..."

Jonny plans to cut outta here early. Alberta's basketball team is playing and their undefeated. Just finished eating an apple. In a few minutes he will have some vitamins. Sing it David Bowie.

As usual Penny was driving him crazy. But he was reading her book she gave him as a present. That part was nice. The book is called The Eight. Jonny is on page 134.

Angelina is working on fixing the phone. They have AT&T U-verse. The phone, tv and internet are all on the same system. For some strange reason the phone part isn't working. The workmen are coming over around 4:30 pm.

Jonny woke up at 6 AM. It was a few minutes before he was supposed to wake up. This time he had a bad dream and that woke him up. Or maybe he just had to pee. Last night Jonny had a black and toad beer. It was really nice. He probably ate too many beer pretzles with that.

Jonny would like to go to the dollar store and buy some matches for his candles. Today he remembered to bring in the lettuce.

Monday

As usual the title of this post is subject to change to a more descriptive one.

The morning got away from Jonny. He was gonna blog but ate lunch early. He spent 20 minutes right before the end of the morning on a wild goose chase. Over the weekend Jonny got a phone call from his brother. Richard Ziman wanted Jonny to add him to face book. It took all that time and still no luck. He got an error message saying that email address couldn't be added.

Laurence Mason cancelled. They didn't go out to Fraser's bar and pub over the weekend. Jonny was busy cleaning Jesse's room. So he couldn't quite hear correctly what Laurence said. It sounded like "...early greeting from my mom..." His mom has recently died. So it probably meant he had to skip the going out because of visitors. Laurence did sound a little drunk. His speech was really slurred.

Alberta had a soccer game. Her team won 9-0. Jonny took her to that game.

Jonny bought Lucy the dog a jacket.

Jonny is up to page 96 of The Eight. The plot is really beginning to thicken.

Jonny got a swine flu nasal shot today. He forgot his wallet. He needed a special Hotel California ID card. But they looked it up by name and birthday. Oddly enough they said not to blow his nose for 2 hours.

Jonny also forgot to bring lettuce. That is too bad because Angelina bought new lettuce at the food store. She went shopping after the Sunday school kita bet Hanukkah event. The event was at 10:30. So Jonny had to drop off Jesse and Lorraine at 9:30 and then go home. He went home and cleaned Jesse's room.

Lucy peeded on the area rug while Jonny was at the soccer game. Therefore he did more steam cleaning. He also got one of his recycled candles working. Angelina complained that they emit no odor. But it doesn't matter she isn't that big on romance anyway. Angelina and Jonny watched an episode of Without a Trace. Jonny watched SNL and old episodes of scrubs that he saw before. Angelina watched a few scrubs episodes and even laughed.

Jonny ate too many pita chips. He woke up with a bad headache. He also just sneezed all that swine flu out just now. Jonny had his last of the six Winter White Ale's. Maybe that caused the headache. He took a couple of tylenols. Then he got so sleepy at work. He drifted in and out. He was listening to this week's parsha. That is why he will listen again on Wednesday.

This week's parsha is Vayesheve. It begins with in the land of Israel. Yacov wanted an easier life. These are just notes that Jonny took while he was awake and listening. This was after a cup of regular instant coffee too.

saving old stuff

Today Jonny did some transplanting. He put up two hanging plants. Jonny has been waiting over 17 years to do that. Before he got married, a coworker gave him the idea to buy some hooks for a drop ceiling. Now here in the Hilton, he has that drop ceiling. Jonny has had these four clip on hooks for all these 17 years in his work area in the basement.

Jonny is up to page 92 of The Race.

Today he listened to the parsha Nitzavim. They are really gearing up for the end of the Jewish year.

Lunch today was a roast beef sandwich.

Last night Jonny steam cleaned and lit scented candles.

Wednesday

Today is a nice day outside the view from the Hilton window.

Jonny is on Chapter 11, page 83 of The Race. It is a nice book. The republican minister who ran in the primary, what's his name is definitely a character in this book.

In other reading news: Jonny decided to pick up where he left off with Haft-Torah reading. There is another term for it, but it escapes his brain right now. Today he read chapters 33, 34 and 35 of Jeremiah. This was with Rashi commentary. That was really neat.

The girls and Jesse started school. They are having a faboulous time too.

So far there have been no calls to Angelina's craigslist ad. She wants to get regular parking customers for the football games.

Jonny got most of his supplies. He helped Lorraine make her lunch last night. The supplies include, one can of coke. But he drank it. The same chips from last week and there is one more serving left. He also finished his tomotoe today. Jonny refilled his vitamins and brought them in

Jonny also wants to get back into some other hobbies: candles and plants. He got a plant today and has a bunch of transplanting that needs to be done. Recycling the old wax, splitting plants to make new ones as gifts and composting apple cores. These are all great things.

Jonny rode his bicycle today to work.

Back from Vacation

Jonny is back from vacation and committed to posting 5 times a week. Ha big laugh.

He wants to play with his candle some more.

Today Jonny listened to Ki Teitzei. He used headphones because Grossman starts out very soft-spoken. Jonny missed Shoftim because that was last week's parsha. This week's parsha talks about how we get credit for the miracles HaShem performs. It also talks about how we are to forgive the Mitzriyam but not the Midians, who attacked the Jews on their march out of Eygypt.

Alberta lost her cell phone charger.

Wendell's birthday is coming up. Jonny tried to call today. He added Kristina and her husband to Jonny's friend's and family. This means he can call on Verizon anytime. There was no answer on either the cell or home numbers. He left a message.

Jonny is up to page 312 of Passage.

Over the weekend he was sorting perler beads. He also put down weed-killer. Jonny played a card game with his kids called apple to apple. Jonny rode with Jesse on the trailer bike over the weekend.

Jonny rode his bike to work today.

AHP ah the memories

Jonny just created an old diary entry. The link is Wednesday, June 22, 1994. He continues the theme of how bad his job was. It was so bad. He needs to introduce at least two new characters to explain that. Suffice it to say the boss, Lee Dixon, he discussed in the last blog entry was partly the source of trouble. At the time Lee was openly defiant. He lacked all energy and loyalty. He left early, showed up late, took a long lunch and did nothing all day, except tell politically incorrect jokes. His job was to hand out work. Yet that was so stupid since it was better to assign work to those based on their experience. Basically the employees and the clients went around Lee. Then Lee would assign the work and whoever really did the work did the work. AHP was a scam. They were selling water treatment systems.

Back to 2009. Jonny is bored again. He took a morning nap and an afternoon nap. He is stuck here in Hollywood, with no car. Jesse wanted to ride his bike to school. So Jonny was able to get to work a few minutes early by riding his bike. As he was parking his bike Lea Thompson showed up. She wasn't scheduled to work on Tuesday's and Thursday's. But she was there anyway. Jonny helped her a little bit today with an .aspx program. He figured out to remove the style in the .css file so the links weren't underlined. This is what they pay him for? This is ridiculous. Jonny has been reading The Odyssey and is on page 48. It was nice to ride the bike today. His blood pressure is skyrocketing, mabye this will help. While Angelina was on the phone Jonny lit two candles. She complained that they stunk. They watched TV the whole time. They watched a little Law and Order and then the Without A Trace x-mas special. And boy was it special.

This morning when dropping off the kids at school he saw Ernie Lively. This was his one small connection to Judaism. Darn still can't spell that word on the first try. Angelin worked at the school again today. Over the weekend is a soccer game and an ALS derby race. There probably is more but Jonny has no idea.

Title what title?

Jonny is back. The Iron Key probably will never be found. Is it writer's block? Well Jonny is looking forward to writing some more from 1994. He re-read all 686 blog entries to reconstruct the character list. OK that is a lie. But he has re-read several blog entries. Jonny even emailed Leslie Cook today. And she emailed back. Jonny is going to see her today. Today is Monday and Lorraine needs to be picked up at 5:45 PM from religious school. Leslie is the librarian. The Peony book review was lost. Speaking of books, Jonny is up to page 481 of The Sabbathday River. He has been at the point where the book can't be put down for about 100 pages now. OK maybe 200 or 300 pages. In the meantime. The Jonny motivation is going down hill again. He came in to do some boring stuff and hardly got started. Then his read match program was causing all kinds of problems. Early Angelina called. She was here at the hospital to get the Eistein Brother's bagels. She has been complaining bitterly about Ernie Lively. Here is why. Ernie expects Angelina to watch Amy Golden for three days. This afternoon is the start of it. Ernie came by this morning. He dropped off food and clothes. Is Angelina unreasonable, is Ernie? Well the truth is as always somewhere in between. Speaking of inbetween. Jonny and Alberta went to Wixom two times. Two soccer games this weekend. Going back a bit on what Jonny wrote above, he is dissapointed in the lack of comments on the early 1994 blog entries. It is 2:15 PM, well past his bed time, for a nap. Jonny napped over the weekend. One of the soccer games was so early in the morning, that he got lost on the way back. He was halfway to Lansing when he realized his mistake. Jonny made some shelves over the weekend. They are inundated with books. Oh my gosh, Jonny is sitting here drinking coffee and getting sleepier and sleepier. He probably should use Twitter instead of blogger. Twitter is good for random thoughts like these. Jonny must have some serious attention issues. He watched a pathetic Cold Case last night with Angelina. The first one was really Life on Mars, deleted it, the next one was a repeat called the runner, the next one was a repeat that they didn't know was a repeat until watching most of it and it was bad about a lady jumping out of a window. Angelina never remembered it and she had seen it before. Alberta came home really late 12:30 from a Bar Mitzvah Saturday night. Annabella came over. Jesse and another kids and Lorraine and Annabelle all made a mess of the yard. Jonny put un 3 new storm windows. OK time for him to brush his teeth to wake up. He had a late lunch because he had an everything bagel at 12 as his tip for the bagels. Sunday while Angelina was grocery shopping at Hiller's he burned two of his candles. Then when she got home she said what is that smell. Today Jonny listened to this weeks Torah parsha audio, Torah Gems the parsha is Vayikra. He also talked a bit about Passover. There is a matza factory that might have had a problem.

The brunch

The all star committee decided to buy brunch for the employees. It really messed up Jonny's schedule. Yes Jonny is getting seriously hungry now. He emailed Lea and told her she is missing out on the brunch and that there was 1 more hour to go. He stuffed himself too.

Angelina called for a half an hour prior to the brunch. She wanted to talk about the refinance again.

Then he worked on his read match charges program because of her email explanation that it was not working correctly. He works on it for an hour. His eyes glaze over. He has to sleep do divulge the solution from his subconscious. This always happens. He had to take an 11:30 nap this time. Jonny awoke. The answer was discovered. He has finally fixed the program and then gotten back to the head and neck form that is being created in VASE.

OK back to Chumash. Today Jonny followed his routine and listened to half of Torah Gems the Tetzaveh parsha. The cohen and the cohen gadol wear special garments to represent the different sins that a person could be seeking forgiveness for. They wear a backwards apron, a hat, a breast plate, special knickers. All these are a symbol for some character error the guilty person might have. This is the parsha where Moshe's name isn't mentioned.

Yesterday Jesse had his ultrasound. Zsa Zsa Gabor went with Angelina to hold her hand. This was because her husband had two meetings in Death Valley yesterday.

Jonny was so busy last night he didn't have time to play with his candle.

Over the weekend he walked and talked to his parents. He walked Lucy to the end of the block in 10 degree weather. He now is over the guilt of not talking to them in a month. Wendell went on and on about Jesse talking to him possibly on a web cam in skype. Then he admitted that Kristina didn't really like Skype because they got too much junk email.

Jonny is up to page 126 of Peony and he is up to page 309 of Man Without A Face. He talked to Leslie Cook about the book yesterday.

Monday he picked up Lorraine at the temple. He parked at the temple and went to work on the bus. After work the bus left him off at the temple. It was time to pick her up from religious school. Alberta doesn't go Monday's and Jesse is too young for Monday's. Leslie's husband David L Crowley was there too, helping to place books on the shelves. She is the temple librarian. Her young son was there because he was too young for religious school. Jonny gets them mixed up so he will report back which is the younger one: Michael Cassidy or David Byrd. He made a notation in the spreadsheet just now.

Leslie asked Jonny if he would do the library newsletter. Jonny said nothing. Now she wants to put Jonny's 4 sentence book review of Zipporah onto a website. She seems to have forgotten he wanted that to be anonymous if was on the internet. Name is fine if it is in a newsletter. Also she said maybe Peony isn't the book for you.

Jonny finally broke the ice with Penny. Yesterday as Penny was leaving Jonny told her that he noticed her hair had changed. Women like it when you notice their hair has changed. She said yes the blonde is gone and so is the white. But she called it gray.

Last night Jonny and Angelina watched an episode of cold case.

Jonny is still considering bringing in the old diary. If he does it will have to be edited. Of course no one know that anyway. In addition, he will use the real dates, add the fake names, censor out some stuff, use code words for certain acts and add a link. Jonny doesn't like using links in his blog. In this case he will link to the old blog entry. He will add a label, like early blog or something and a link to the new entry. Sounds like a lot of work. Finally the old diary is about 3 inches wide so Jonny used different color ink to separate the entry. Like he used green ink then blue ink, red ink, black ink. But how to do that in html?

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.

Friday

Jonny listened to Parsha Yitro chanting this morning. He is here in Hotel California. Later he has a wellness screening. The company gives the employees $100 incentive bonus to go on it. Jonny looked online for some homeopathic remedies for bronchitis. He decided to get antimonium tartaricum for dizziness and bryonia for thirst and the need to be left alone. They are both one of many possible drugs to take for the symptoms of bronchitis. Wendell wanted Jonny to take steroids. But Jonny was too dedicated to take a break and go to a doctor. So he talked to a lung radiation oncology doctor. She said drink water. Then cough up the mucus. Jonny is up to page 14 of Peony. This is a book about Chinese Jews. He is up to page 238 of Man Without A Face. This is about a Jewish holocaust survivor who became the East German master spy against West Germany. He lived through the Berlin Wall error. He also retired after the wall came down. Now Jonny has started watching a DVD. It is called Casualties of War. It contains the actors Sean Penn and Michael J. Fox. It is about Vietnam. The soldiers do some bad stuff to the civilians. The war is hard on everyone. The soldiers lose fellow soldier friends because civilians harbor the enemy. Jonny got a Valentine's Day candle today. Too bad the girl who gave it to him is about to be fired by Penny. The whole group of them are conspiring to prove she hasn't been doing her work properly. She is very pretty and works independently. She is the kind of really tall woman who comes across as majorly professional. But she calls in sick a lot. Isn't organized as she comes across. She does sound a little like a ditz sometimes. Jonny almost never sees her because she works away from Hotel California. Time to stretch.

Sledding

Jonny is here in Hotel California. It was something like 8 degrees below zero in Ann Arbor. Last night was steam cleaning. Lucy the dog had left a mess on the area rug. Then te steam cleaner broke. So Jonny was cleaning the rug snow white/cinderalla style, on his hands and knees with the scrub brush taken out of the the steam cleaner and dipping it into a bucket. The rug is soaked. Angelina says it doesn't smell, but she hates the smell of the candles. She is the one who keeps buying them. This green sparkle candle is really problematic. Jonny put it into a microwave and then yanked it out. The sparkles don't mix well with microwaves. Apparently the sparkles on the inside of the glass weren't ever intended to get burnt. Last night after bestowing apon the students the virtues of calling help desks, Angelina wants Jonny to spend his night calling the Bissell help desk about the steam cleaner. Alberta made a mess in the kitchen. She accidentally dropped a dish towel onto the grating of the new gas stove. This broke it in. It left a permanent dye stain the color of blue, red, green and other colors on a perfectly new porcelian like greyish metal stove grating.

Boring work paragraph below.

Penny is completely ignoring Jonny. Jonny finished a major section of his credits program for Lea. The program has blossomed from 1316 lines to 1575 lines. One more section is needed that will add maybe 50 more lines. This is to email some people. The program is going to clean up a few records the first time it runs on the sybase database so no need to inform those people that a credit was sent. Besides, Lea never said what to put in the email. Besides putting in the registration number and billing code, Jonny is at a loss for the guidance from his mentor as to what to do. Like yesterday in his hazy slumber he sent the same 365 charges records in one file two times. So today he sent a credit for those records. This is not to be confused with the new credits program that looks in the credits table for other credits.

Jonny just came back from talking with Dabney Coleman the clerk here. He said it is great that Penny doesn't talk to you. His officemate a totally hot nurse who has that cool jet black Egyptian like hair, said she saw Jonny, and Jesse walking back from the sledding hill. Jonny went with Annabelle, Lorraine and Jesse. After two hours he left at 4 PM so he and his son could leave. Hopefully Lyman was able to pick them up. As it turns out he did pick up his daughter and friend after another hour of sledding. Angelina commented that all their boots weren't water proof, just of the four of them Jonny, Annabelle, Lorraine and Jesse, only Jonny complained.

Jonny's two new storm windows are in and Angelina went to pay and pick them up today.

Tuesday

Back at Hotel California, who knows what Penny is thinking. She certainly isn't talking to Jonny. Jonny is here in Hollywood with Lea. She was very critical of his programs as well. In the meantime Jonny took a break and watched a presentation that was given over in Hotel California on the web live. He was able to watch it via adobe connect. Yesterday was Monday. Jonny was in a real bad mood and jumped onto some blogs and left mean comments. This is called lashing out. Today the plot thickens as Jonny approaches page 311 of Death in a Strange Country. Jonny feels he performed a good service by typing up a book review of Zipporah Wife of Moses. This was well received by the librarian. Jonny picked up Lorraine. She accused him of flirting with the librarian, whos Israeli husband was there too. This guy might be 60 something but he could still knock someone out. The looks buff and tough. The son was there as well. The husband was nice and helped retrieve the word document from Jonny's Iron Key onto the mac laptop their family brought to the temple for their volunteer work. Jonny didn't have anytime last night to do much of anything. He did help Lorraine on the computer. She is starting a sewing company with 3 other 5th graders. No dreams for Jonny last night clean or otherwise. Jesse arrived in the middle of the night. Angelina sent him away screaming. The temperature is dropping rapidly in Michigan. Jonny still unable to connect with his brother by cell phone. Perhaps tonight some work will get done, for example more glazing of the slate floor in the kitchen. Last night Lucy the dog had a small accident on the _fill in the blank_ the words escape Jonny now. Is it perhaps area rug? Is was a good excuse to light some candles. Today Jonny was listening to Torah gems. This week's parsha is about Shemot. It also closely resembles the book he just read. There is mention of Moses being the king of Ethiopia oh gosh spelling is going too. Better not try and spell any cities from Ohio. At least the name of the state is easy to spell just like Iowa. Angelina called while Jonny was watching/dreaming through the presentation. But now she doesn't pick up. So now he must go back to Lea's credit program.

Didn't surf, didn't nap

Until now. Jonny was asleep when an Oracle process was running to modify a bunch of MARY SMITHS to Mary Smith for example. Just one resident with 200 records. Then he dozed off. A lady snuck up on him and asked about cat pet hotels. Then he went to imdb to add a new character. He went to the pop up add for funny tee shirts. Then he followed the links to many different real life actresses and actors. But Jonny is here now to give tribute to Lyman Ward, who is Annabella Sciorra's dad. They live off of Packard too. Lorraine plays softball with Annabella. Lyman helped fix the basketball hoop. Earlier today Rob Schneider called. He wanted Jonny to come over to Hotel California to do the evaluation. It went well. Dolly Parton, Penny Fuller and Lea Thompson all gave him favorably marks as customers. Customer only counts 5%. Jonny had to write in that he thinks he needs to be in one office instead of at Hotel California 2 days a week and Hollywood 3 days a week. He ran out of mustard at Hollywood today. He ran out of mustard at Hotel California 2 weeks ago or less. That's ok Angelina has 5 mustards at least at home. She did run out of dog treats. Over the weekend Jonny played golf at Huron Hills with Sam Douglass's older brother. The older brother is going to Michigan State in the fall. The even older brother is going to Northern Michigan. Sam went to Hebrew Day school with Alberta. Jonny rode his bike to work. It was hot and getting hotter. He rode the bus over to Hotel California. Last night he lit a candle while working on the computer in the basement. It was the orange spice one. It is so cold down there from the AC. Angelina and Jonny cleaned up the clutter in Jesse's room. Over the weekend Angelina and the family cut down massive amount of branches and bagged them up to reclaim the yard. Jonny is on page 100 of Union Prayer book. He forgot to bring it today. There are large portions of English because it is a reform prayer book. He is still on the New year portion of the prayer book. Jonny has a stiff neck.

What takes so long

What takes so long for the day to go by? Jonny has been falling asleep in his chair just hoping Penny Fuller doesn't catch him. Maybe he should go upstairs and see if Rob Schneider wants to chat. Another Israeli woman who works here in Hotel California has some work for Jonny to do but. It is being held up by Penny. Lea Thompson meanwhile back at Hollywood is getting angrier and angrier that Jonny hasn't gotten back to her work. He needs to get his Data Direct working over here. Jonny has been reading a bit to pass the time. Before a late lunch he read some Dark Tower series reviews on amazon. The books were 3500 pages! He emailed a past coworker the lyrics to the black eyed peas song lets get retarded in here. He also read up to chapter 58 of Isaiah. He is up to page 87 of Death of a Red Heroine. Jonny did a bunch of work for Dolly Parton over at Hollywood all afternoon. Most of the beginning of the day was spent with a dentist appointment at 9AM. Jonny slept from 8 to 9 in the car. He had to drive Alberta to school first. Then a meeting about the Blood Bank Database again. Agh Jonny is getting sick of it. Yesterday and today he listened to the veyechi chumash lecture one hour. Then they had a pizza party over there. The rest of the day was spent working in infomaker. In the afternoon he picked up Lorraine Bracco at her friend Annabella Sciorra's house. They live right near Packard road. Then they went to BTB and got food. Two quesadillos plain $2 each, and one deluxe BTB $3 for Jonny. Not sure how to spell that particular Mexican food. Lots of other adventures in the past few days. Then they went to wait for Alberta Watson to finish her basketball practice. The girls ate their food. Lorraine screamed for Wendy's fries. They went home. Jesse Bradford was feeling sick. The night before he pooped in his pull up and traded beds with Jonny Lee Miller patriarch of the family. Jonny's new Smart Glove arrived and he is putting it to the test. Typing this blog really long. Last night he played with his candle. He made a long candle out of extra unused wax from a scented candle by using a toilet paper tube. Then he put a long metal rod through it. Next he put a wick from a Chanukah candle in it. He took a hammed and beat the wick out of the candle. He sprinkled the pieces on the other candle. The tube like candle burns awhile and then pool and the flame gets low. So Jonny blows it out and lets it get hard again.

There must have typed about 3000 characters because it was time to stretch. Not much to do here since no Data Direct installed but the yet as unnamed network characters.

Two night ago Jonny began working on applying for jobs for Angelina. But then he had to do some emergency grading for school. He is still working on grading. He then took Alberta to a soccer practice.

OK Angelina just called and she is feeling sick. So thus ends another well started out story. Much work to do over the weekend.
