I’m working on a top secret somewhat autobiographical novel about a not-so-young man working out his mishegos before he gets thrown out of the last Modern Orthodox shul within walking distance.<\/p>\n
How do you like it so far?<\/p>\n
I’m open to alternative titles.<\/p>\n
Perhaps something a little more holy? The Pride and the Prejudice? The Tart and the Vicar? The Rabbi and the Goy? Rabbi and Me?<\/p>\n
From my cam chat:<\/p>\n
AnIronic: Luke, I found a way to make some quick bread that beats your web income stream to date. At least it does where I live.
\nAnIronic: Jury duty. You show up, maybe get paid, then don’t get picked.
\nAnIronic: The easiest $40 you will ever make.
\nYourMoralLeader: it’s about $15 a day right?
\nAnIronic: In New York it is $40\/day
\nAnIronic: What do yo make off your web site \/ day?
\nAnIronic: Bet it is less.
\nAnIronic: Heck, it beats what you make blogging AND writing
\nSimonSmith: don’t bother our moral leader
\nAnIronic: Why should you slave away as a blogger when you could be making the easy money as a juror, deciding the fate of people of color?
\nAnIronic: Sperm donation. I think it is $50\/pop, but they really restrict the number of pops\/week
\nRabbiArielSokolovsky: I was just almost falling on the floor laughing reading your post about "Leah Kleim the movie"
\nAnIronic: As fate had it today, I wasn’t even called into the jurors’ box to be questioned as to my suitability to decide the fate of a young black man accused of trying to murder several people
\nAnIronic: None of whom, we were told, would be testifying – not the alleged shooter, and not either of his victims.
\nAnIronic: I suspect a business dispute up in Harlem
\nAnIronic: They filled the jury before getting to me
\nAnIronic: On the other hand, this sucker would have been a two week trial.
\nYourMoralLeader: does your employer pay you for this time?
\npalestine4ever: Were the Village People or ABBA unavailable for your sabbath serenade?
\nAnIronic: Men of leisure like Luke and I are among the few who can afford that.
\nAnIronic: Nope, I get no such benefits.
\nRabbiArielSokolovsky: I went to Shaws supermarket yesterday night and met a Boston Jewish Advocate reporter Susan Davidson who uses the store as her office due to a very fast free WIFI there:-)
\nAnIronic: $40 for three days, that is it.
\nAnIronic: I fall into the gaps
\nAnIronic: But if you are totally unemployed or self employed, you get $40\/day
\nRabbiArielSokolovsky: we had a very long talk
\nAnIronic: I was preparing for this case too, going to far as to watch the first season of "The Wire"
\nYourMoralLeader: i love tha tshow
\nYourMoralLeader: i own the first 3 seasons
\nAnIronic: First time viewing it; it is great.
\nAnIronic: I like watching shows like that a season at a time.
\nAnIronic: None of this waiting a week for me
\nAnIronic: Man, you should have seen the efforts people were making not to serve. And there I was, not even called to speak, to explain my view of humanity and how it must be governed
\nYourMoralLeader: Don’t you have a life?
\nRabbiArielSokolovsky: her sites are http:\/\/www.SusieD.com and http:\/\/www.IRefusedToDie.com with her book with many stories based on interviews of Holocaust survivors in Boston area
\nAnIronic: Luke, if I had a full life, think how impoverished your web sites would be<\/p>\n
