Life and a possible joke

December 15, 2006 By pia

HAPPY HANAKAUH

I bought my first holiday tree. It’s blue, I guess twelve inches tall, and I’m looking for a rhinestone peace sign to put on it, along with a crystal snow flake. It’s on the coffee table next to the menorah. I did think a lot about the symbolism of a tree, and it just seems seasonal to me, as in I will keep it on the table all winter, to pretend that we’re having winter. Weird seeing people on the street in sweatshirts in December.

People say Jews dominate the media. No, but we do dominate the film industry. Read in Jewtopia that De Niro is half. But if we go back in time to when the film industry was new, Jews were first coming to America in large numbers. Jews who were lucky enough to graduate college couldn’t work in most large firms.

As the film industry was new, Jews could work in it. People don’t usually look at history to understand why some ethnic groups dominate some industries. Oh, I’m too tired to write….Lucky for you/

I have no time until Tuesday. Life has sort of caught up with me. Three things to write by Monday, a family reunion and two must make a fifteen minute appearance at parties. I hope that this loads

My blog is loading very very very slowly. Here’s another joke that Lucia sent me that the whole world has probably seen but me. It might not be a joke. I can be slow you know

The Supreme Court has ruled that there cannot be a Nativity Scene

in Washington, D.C. this Christmas season. This isn’t for any religious

reason, they simply have not been able to find three wise men and a

virgin in the Nation’s capital.

There was no problem, however, finding enough asses to fill the

stable.

    My last name is Jewish… My middle name is Jewish. My son’s name, first middle and last (since the middle and last are the same as mine) are Jewish.

    Yet…

    I’m Lutheran and I was born on Christmas…

    Happy Hannukah, Pia.

    None of us are what other people think we are, or even exactly what we think we are. So, for the next week, I choose to be Jewish. Bring on the gelt!

    P.S. Regan’s out at Harper-Collins. Murdoch’s writing a book about it: “If I Did It (And Why It Would Have Taken Me So Long)”

About Me

I live in the South, not South Florida, a few blocks from the ocean, and two blocks from the main street. It's called Main Street. Amazes me too.

I'm from New York. I mostly lived in the Mid-Upper East Side, and the heart of the Upper West Side. It amazes me when people talk about how scared they were of Times Square in the 1970's and 1980's.

As my mother said: "know the streets, look out and you'll be fine."

What was scary was the invasion of the crack dens into "good buildings in good 'hoods." And the greedy landlords who did everything they could to get good tenants out of buildings.

I'm a Long Island girl, and proud of it now.
Then I hated everything about the suburbs. Yet somehow I lived in a few great Long Island Sound towns after high school.
