Enjoy Times Square!

Walking through midtown Manhattan tonight. First time here in many years.

Walked by Tiffany hoping to see some pretty windows. Nope. All under construction.

I emerge from the scaffolding to stand right, square in front of Trump Tower.

A little weird.

Still on the floor.
And we are landing soon.

They seem to be moving.
They are 20 rows up, so hard to see.

Drama on my flight.
Pilot asks for a Dr.
Person laying in the aisle.
Another person making the sign of the cross over him/her.

I'm still perplexed as to what they feel threatened about?
Will their sky fairy stop the crops from growing?
Will it mess up their fertility?

Getting close to a final design on the column capitals.
These will be 3D printed.
This project has been in the making for 9 years.

My 97 years old mother calls this morning.
Tells me my sister thinks she has had a stroke.
I say "Gee'sh mom! That's what ambulances are for. She should be calling 911!"

That wasn't the thing to say.

Lots of tears followed.

I call the sister.

"How are you? Mom says something is wrong."

"I'm ok."

"Well, could you call mom back and let her know? She's a mess right now."

Not the right thing to say.
Apparently, according to her, I have deep-seated anger.

I do now.

When I read Marcus Aurelius each morning I "hear" him thinking through his prose as he sits in a tent next to a battlefield on a cold, foggy morning in Gaul.

"I mean the wrestler
Of the old testament.
And when the wrestler's sinews
Grew long
Like metal strings
He felt them under his fingers
As chords of deep music.

Winning does not temp this man.

This is how he grows:
By being defeated,
Decisively
By constantly
Greater beings."

-- Rilke

Went to a bar tonight with the wife.
Met some wonderful people.
Made new friends.
Helped a local business.
Networked into an industry I've been trying to do for a year.
Drank alot.

It was a productive Tuesday evening.

The Russian culture has been dehumanizing non-Russians for centuries. My family was forged on that brutal anvil.

I prioritize the progress of mankind.

The Russian culture works against that progress.

That would be a nice subsidy for Honda!

I keep thinking that we need to manufacture 1 million kerosene heaters and get them distributed to everyone in the Ukraine.

Then there needs to be a massive rollout of geothermal installations for every home in Europe.
