9:58 AM Tuesday View: WJ


 This has gone according to plan.

Any surprises or happiness?  No.  Just pleasanrness.

Here is a photo I took on the way.


From the Metro Station to Casa Wuxi Kaulins.

7:35 AM Tuesday View: Unexpected and Plans

 


I just uploaded this NGD quote video:


Only the unexpected truly satisfies.  I can agree with that completely.  Happiness derives from the word happenstance, which is why messages trying to tell us how to be happy are beside the point.

Be that as it may, I have a plan, but it is a vague plan:

— I’ll catch a bus to Jiangyin station in order to catch the train to Wuxi to get the apartment keys my son forgot.

— I’ll go to Monte Carlo’s for a farewell dinner at 4:00 PM

— I’ll take photos for a substack photo essay.

— I’ll record at least one quote video.

 Bed time so I uploaded a quote video:



3:47 PM Monday View: Riding the buses.


 This afternoon, I rode four different buses in Jiangyin in order to buy bread, beer and fried peanuts.  Much of what I saw was non-descript:  recently build edifices plopped into green and dusty fields.  I did take pictures but I’ll put them in my Substack: I plan to do a photo essay about this week in Jiangyin.

6:55 AM Monday View; Things done

 


I have uploaded this quote video:


I have ironed my clothes.

I have made a second cup of coffee.

I have thought how amusing it was of me to make a statement about not seeing any trannies at the Women’s fencing event.

I have made a more substantial plan for today.  I’ll do my Canada stuff after the invigilation.

I will pray the rosary.

Read books onto my new IPad
