Today is the last day of this chinook interlude weather wise, because Old Man winter has still some medium cold in store for us next week. It’ll be around minus low teens, but not the twenties. But, as I say: ‘The weather whether-s.’
We went through that last paragraph several times as it was calling up many emotions …
Yesterday Juliet dictated the closing paragraph of her story to me. It is about her saying good bye to her Dad at her age of around sixteen. We went through that last paragraph several times as it was calling up many emotions for Juliet, because daughter and father never saw each other again alive. What remains to be written is a short epilogue to round out the story for the reader, which we hope to complete next time we meet.
Later on lunch with my friend Herman after an interlude of more than a month. It is his turn to pay, but that is not the reason. It’s the cold weather and his work on the upcoming book or books even! It will be good to chat again and I have quite a few articles for him to peruse.
But an administrator Trump is not!
Tomorrow around this time the USA many eyes the world over will be following the installation of Mr. D. Trump as the new president of that all important nation still, the US of A. This may never again have such an ambience of expectations hanging over it as this time. I hope that Trump will be able to reset and renew some international institutions such as the World Bank, the Monetary Fund and the UN and its Security Council most of all.
These date back to ca 1948 and no longer reflect the global power structure, nor address humanities needs and aspirations. The fear is that Trump’s crew will turn out to be a demolition crew, rather than a renovation enterprise. Hence all this attention tomorrow and the upcoming month - the well known ‘first one hundred days’ of the now ‘administration’. But an administrator Trump is not!
