2025 Daily (skipped 3&4) - 02/05/2025

 It is early in morning, the 5th, as I write THIS... and I have skipped entries for the 3rd and 4th. Seems my writing discipline is not as good as my piano playing. I haven't missed a day this year of practicing a bit on the piano. The writing IS more difficult but lets see what the future brings.

Yesterday I hosted the bookclub in my house and the book was: How democracies die ... very disturbing. Written/published at the beginning of the first Trump execution of the Presidency now as we begin his second attempt to destroy democracy the distance between the good and the bad is very very short. These are troubling times for what some call (accurately???) the longest existing/surviving democracy in the world. Fact is ... democracy as a system may be easily dismantled. Maybe!!??!! More in Essay area of my writing, I suppose.

BTW -- today's weigh-in was BAD!!! Came in at 280 ... so my new "set-point" of the mid-270's is broken. The Sunday Rotary event and the sausages and cookies yesterday had to have taken it's toll. I've got to watch it! As it is now almost 6am -- I'm signing off and going to workout ... Yesterday I missed working out as there was too much on my plate, so to speak. Services, bookclub, lunch w/Bruce, meeting with Jim Fields, Univ. chorus... A full day!

SO -- I did some writing about ethnic cleansing... will need to work more on it... It is one of those things!!! Trump, Bibi... REALLY!?
