 A day of listening tests and planning,

I didn’t sleep well last night.

 Monday done.

Done did Monday.

Made a ninety second long Daily Video you can watch on my YouTube channel.

Have not slept well recently.  I go to bed at 9:00 PM but am still awake at 3:00 AM.  Finally I feel sleepy at 4:30 AM; but at 5:00 AM I have to arise.

I listened to a podcast about a gentleman from the 20th century named George Kennan.  He was said to be for a country minding its own business, against Communism, against Democracy, and for hierarchies.  He seems like a good egg and so I must read things about him and by him,  He wrote like Edward Gibbon apparently.

I’m still not right in the stomach area.  There is always a discomfort in the pit of my stomach.

Took video of the eggs I bought, my air fryer, my coffee pod machine and the kitchen sink.

God, I hope my family in Canada is doing well.

I listened to a podcast interview with a half brother of Justin Trudeau.  The half brother was not at all impressed with Justin’s performance.  The half brother lives in the states and is a RFK supporter.  It would be interesting if Tucker interviewed him.

The JQ was brought up on the James Howard Kunstler podcast.  K is J and admits he is ashamed of what some of his fellow Js are doing.  Some of them are spearheading the lawfare against Trump and the J6ers, as well as the movements in some cities to not prosecute crime.

The 125th AKIC Daily Video


 I normally post this on my Wordpress site, but since it is St, Pat’s Day, I’ll put it here as well.

 Didn’t sleep well last night.  Have had bad insomnia since leaving the hospital.  1:00 AM, 2:00 AM, 3:00 AM, I can’t sleep.


Extended my Duolingo streak to 1512.


Finished reading The Great Shark Hunt by Hunter S. Thompson.  A fun read but politically, HST can be hyperbolic in his preferences.


Finished reading Learning the Virtues that lead you to God by Romano Guardini.  An uplifting and thought provoking book.


I extended my Hallow streak to 15.


Realized how selfish I’ve been with family, both here and in Canada.  I should elaborate, but won’t.


Contemplated the state of Ireland.  What happened to it?  It’s no longer the culture I found fascinating..,

 Back in Jiangyin, just in time for a Saturday night.

The day was fairly successful.  My son Tony got out of bed earlier than I was expecting.  We took the Didi and S1 line to get to our new Wuxi apartment.  On the train ride out, some child sat beside me at the behest of his grandfather (I assume).  He had a toy phone that he wanted to show me.  He even handed it to me and I had to pretend I was answering it!  喂喂!你好! It made the grandfather happy. Then we went to the new apartment.  Tony wanted to go to the nearby outlet mall and so we drove there.  Tony saw a lot of cool things he wanted to buy.


I took a lot of video from the train which you can see on my YouTube channel.

Healthwise, I notice that if I walk for a bit, I get a pain in the side similar to one you would get if you were running.

 Extended my Duolingo streak to 1511.  Also, completed the March challenge,


Was struck between the ears of my not going out much, but was comforted by NGD having said that the cloister exposes one to sun and fresh air.


It also helped to be exposed to the knowledge of God’s love for us.


Heard the Z man say all history is bullshit.


Planned to take the metro, with Tony, to Wuxi today.


Listened to an interview with Doctor Martin Kulldorf: a hero of the Covidian age,


Realized I have subsided in my FTism.  The bastard should have resigned yesterday.


Drank half a coffee of coffee.  Will finish it it should ‘would have finished’ been more appropriate.


Liked reading the word play in Finnegan’s Wake.


Extended my Hallow App streak to 11 days.  About to have done 12 just now.


Sent $aturday to some WeChat contacts.

Completed!
