What kind of life is this?
Charged with electric dreams
Memories of distant joys
Fall apart at the seams

The horror is midnight real
Roaming these dark lanes
Only ever searching for love
For these stitched-together remains

Today I’m feeling:

Pretty good again.  Trying not to think too much about the events on this day last year.  We go on until we don’t.

Today I’m grateful for:

Being able to easily find the Chinese TV version of The Three Body Problem.  I’ll watch that over the holidays.

The best thing about today was:

Being able to sneak a coffee from 22 Grams this afternoon as we took Cap to get checked at the vet.  Still the best coffee in Chiang Rai for me.  

Cap’s blood levels are a little high for his kidneys now so we have to get him tested again in a couple of weeks.

Something I learned today?

I think it is at the UN that the USA is always found in breach of rules and they always launch an appeal.  

But appeals are never heard so that the USA doesn’t have to follow the rules until the appeal is over.  

Why are the appeals never heard?  Because since the last two appeals judges retired the USA has blocked the positions of any new ones.  

Hmm – and they call themselves part of the rules-based order.

I ordered a 32” globe for Amy as an anniversary gift.  I hope it isn’t too plastic and cheap-looking when it arrives.
