I’m getting some life back, the little princess was growing four teeth at once, so there was a lot of crying and little sleep. Things seem to be improving with her sleeping until 4 AM last night, big win! I know I talk about my sleep too much, but it’s probably the biggest issue in my life. It’s been so long since I knew normal sleep that it consumes my brain, all I want. A new topic on the board is Japan, on the heels of the president’s successful trip we’re planning a visit for next year and I think now will be a good time. For years we’ve talked about visiting Paris, maybe some French countryside and beaches, but from what I see on the internet now is not the time. The 2010’s were plagues with emotional thinking and most of Europe opened up to refugees. An expression I’ve seen is, “Import the third world, become the third world.” Now the last statistic I saw on Paris grape is up something like %6,000. The U.S. has it’s own immigration crisis, as does the world, people that live in bad places want to live in good places. Japan, with it’s first female prime minister has taken a “Japan first” policy and keeping invaders out. Watching the world change is fascinating, countries come and go, science that was championed is found to be wrong, heroes become villains and vice versa. A Tale of Two Cities was vital in my understanding of how the world handles time. The two cities are Paris and London, an Englishmen is in Paris when the Bourbon’s, French Royalty, was overthrown by Napoleon. Napoleon then gets over thrown, later he gets back in power and finally removed. During the book, the Englishmen and others like him are being captured as political prisoners and trying to get out before the pendulum swings again.
