2023 Is History - Welcome to 2024

 Small Victories 

I ended up reading 25 books last year. My goal was 24. 

What's more, I expanded the reading genres considerably. I generally read mostly poetry, biographies, and memoirs.  This is how my reading broke down :

• Memoir 8
• Novels  7
• Poetry 6
• Historical / Political 2
• Biography 2

This Past Week

• wrote a new draft of a Candlestick poem
• rewrote another Candlestick poem
• Reading some articles in Rge Weiter's Chronicle. 
• Listened to an interview with Ada Lemoine 
• Watching too much coverage of news. 

Things I Am So Over

• Blatant misuse of the word anti-sematic 
• News about Nikki Haily - She is an apologist for Trump. She has a flawed view of American history. Her time in the State Department was an example of incompetence.
• Tommy Tupperville - I should not have to explain the gross ignorance that informs his lack of poor decisions on our military and security in America.
• Jim Jordan. Two words-- dumb liar.
• Clearance Thomas. Why is he still in power? 
• Vladamir Putin. War Criminal
• Netanyahu (I've been done with him for years) War Criminal
• Speaker Mike Johnson - election denier, and climate skeptic.
• Elon Musk and X 

HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE
