Ehlana and Ethan:
Cassie and Michael are happily spending their weekend in paradise, and it is even a bit warmer in Yangon and sunny; so we continue to be jealous of that while it remains frozen here! They will be working a lot of their Saturday once they get started in a couple of hours, but those stories will have to wait; since we’re doing an early update ahead of our family-and-friends’ dinner and movies night and the co-ed sofa sleepover we’re going to keep our four best friends for after the rest of our guests head for their homes later tonight!
There isn’t really any news to offer for our day-so-far – though we’ve kept busy and had fun from Tai Chi and breakfast with Mom and Dad through our academic adventures to now as we’re getting ready for our incoming cousins and friends. We want to stay happy for all of the fun ahead; so we’re going to keep the world news update short. For a change, let’s start by mentioning President Trump’s nomination for Federal Reserve Chairman – the son-in-law of one of his billionaire buddies. That isn’t a shock for anyone, but more and more people are seeing overt displays of how power really works in ways that used to be kept behind closed doors in backroom deals! We’re all waiting to find out whether we – and Israel – will attack Iran again over the weekend, but while we’ll continue to hope for better; another war with Iran seems inevitable because the leaders involved mostly on our side aren’t afraid of any consequences. That’s true for pretty much all of the horrid things that western leaders are doing; which is why the doomsday clock people moved it a bit closer to midnight again as global risks escalate too.
None of that is inspiring happiness; so that’s all for this update. Stay tuned; and we’ll hope for better news tomorrow night!
Until next time, live with love, fellow Magi of the Light!
