The 5000

Here is Mr. J with his invention... the healless drum pedal. The Janeys drove out to Chad Sexton’s Drum City in North Hollywood to see it. One of Mr. J's students told Mr. J they actually had one for sale so they wanted to see it at an actual store. (Another one of Miss J's old 'hoods, btw. Oh, the parties that happened at that apartment...)

Work on this pedal started, hm... at least five years ago. First with the idea, then drawings and drafts, a patent lawyer, prototypes, etc and blahblahblah. It has been a long and expensive process. Now that the pedal is finally in stores, the Janeys will hopefully begin to see a return on their investment. Because Miss J would very much like to start living the life of luxury complete with champagne wishes and caviar dreams.

And a pool boy.

Wow! Your Mr. J is like Thomas Edison and George Clooney combined.
What do you need a pool boy for anyway?

Wow, Mr. J is an inventor! How cool is that?

Where do I sign up for a poolboy? We don't even have a pool, but I guess he could run in the sprinklers.

I believe that's a pool man. Minor quibble. I'll take him.

So Ms. J stands to live the high life? Be an award winning actress? Married to an intellectual inventor? Remember I knew you when should I show up backstage one night trying to impress some so and so...
