The Many Days of Artie Kronowitz (Day 1)

First Day of Artie Kronowitz

Day 1.

Artie Kronowitz was a middle-aged Jewish writer who lived in a dreary apartment only minutes from the shul. Unfortunately, Artie hated that very fact, since the shul was a place he didn't attend hardly at all. One day, however, he saw a very beautiful woman standing on the corner of 8th and Sylvia Ave. Buttoning his cardigan, Artie hurried outside and hoped to catch a name.

If only she'd throw it.

After stopping twice to use his inhaler, Artie opened the door to see that she was disappearing inside the shul.

Oy, he thought, tomorrow for sure.
