Steve from Brisbane celebrated his 64th birthday last wednesday. Well it is my birthday today and i am the same age as john Quiggin however since his birthday is in April his is a tad older!
I am sorry to say getting old sucks. You need to see the doctor more often and ensure your health insurance is up to date. I have seen hospitals more often than I would like to.
You need to sleep more. I find an afternoon nap essential although it is not long.
The major problem is the world.
Russia invaded Ukraine and the Western world still is frighten of helping ukraine win. After Hamas murdered innocent Israelis the Israeli government has killed over 40,000s of palestinians in attempting to kill hamas operatives. This is collective punishment and therefore a war crime and few countries object. People talk of a two state solution. It won't happen. Gaza is rubble and Israel won't help re-build it. The are over 750,000 israelis living in the West bank illegally. more will come.
All this will perpetuate violence
One of the candidates for US President is a convicted criminal. He has been convicted of fraud, the company he controls has been convicted of fraud, he has been convicted of sexual assault which the Judge said was akin to rape and finally he falsified business records so people would not find out he had sex with a pron star. Finally lies like there is no tomorrow. Yet the election is close.
It is hard to be optimistic about the future!
Belated Happy Birthday. The urge for an afternoon nap is getting stronger for me, too, especially after eating lunch. But I can't do it - work...
