Ehlana and Ethan:
Let’s begin with the Cassie and Michael update – if only because their Wednesday was a lot warmer; and that’s going to be true for their Thursday that is already in-progress. The coast of Myanmar is apparently amazing; they are having fun with the work and play time; and half-wish that they could stay there for a longer visit that they don’t have time for on this trip! They will move on tomorrow with another long travel day that will take them to the south of Myanmar where they’ll stay for the weekend. Their Thursday work is mostly going to be charity-related – and yes, even coastal paradise cities have people in need; so they are doing a lot of good!
We’ve tried to do our part to do good in the world today to while here at home. Our school day was uneventful, but we got a lot done at the lab or archives after school; and then we worked in the office on family business and charity projects after dinner and through until around ten-thirty – plus time-phased hours. Our friends wouldn’t think that most of our work was fun at all, but we’re happy tonight; and feel good about everything we did get done tonight. Ethan would tell you that I’m happier because my lab work included a new success for treating one of the specific cancers – curing it, and while we’re still years away from taking those treatment-cures out into the world; we are making a lot of progress!
Now we are winding down fast toward nap time; so let’s get to the world news report. War with Iran is looking more-likely right now, but we’ll wait to see whether our idiot leaders go there or come to their senses before it is too late. News of a second round of trilateral peace talks for Ukraine have been announced, but we still don’t know why they are bothering when the two sides are obviously still far apart on demands and expectations; so no deal is going to happen diplomatically anytime soon. We want to mention the latest news from Europe about their plans to end all imports of Russian natural gas and oil – mostly because the European Union is over-riding their own rules by ignoring vote vetoes from countries that still want to buy those Russian resources. It is obvious that our country is not the only one deciding that laws are optional when inconvenient, and when that happens; it is only a matter of time before that kind of general lawlessness spreads and become endemic.
We’ll keep that from happening here in Witch Falls, but don’t need to worry about that tonight either; so let’s wrap this up and we will stay happy as we head off to dreamland.
Until next time, live with love, fellow Magi of the Light!
