Got into an elevator while reaching for my room key.
Door closed on my hand.
Will have a bruise tomorrow.
Looks like Trump finally got US to stop taking about the Epstein file.
He may come to regret that.

Day 2128 of Covid
Trump had FBI steal ballots in Georgia.
Can't seem to accept that he lost in 2020.
I failed an algebra class in college.
Papa: Just take it again.
Figured I'd fail it again.
GPA was high enough that an F didn't matter.
Accepted failure and moved on to a successful life.

Watched last 2 episodes of "Dept Q" on Netflix.
Kept our attention to the end.
Fed holds interest rates steady...as expected.
Frank celebrated 8 years of being a lifeguard.
Not many folk can pass that test at age 73.

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good.

Years ago I dated an Afghan refugee with a green card.
He said that one doesn't know terror until Russian tanks roll through your city streets.
Now I feel terror when ICE vehicles with masked men roll through US streets.

Day 2122 of Covid
Yesterday's long travel day has left me physically tired.
Catching up on Trump's madness has left me morally weary.
His remarks at Davos were bad, but the insult to our NATO allies who fought and died to defend US after 9-11 are appalling.

After three weeks of travel in Belgium we head home tomorrow.
Saw no sign of Europe being on the decline as Trump seemed to imply today at Davos.
Belgium looks beautiful and vigorous.
So glad we decided to come here.

We already have complete access to Greenland, including unfettered freedom of navigation into the Arctic.

We have a military base. We have early warning radar systems in place that will integrate with the “dome.”

And we have allies to help defend it. We don’t need Greenland.

First full day in Antwerp.
Walked for two hours to the cathedral and back.
I was ready to sit with my feet up, but not Frank.
His doctor said that his testosterone level is higher than a lot of her 40 year old patients.
Frank is 81.

The right: stop calling us Nazis

Joe Rogan: this is some Gestapo bullshit.
Rogan: "You don't want militarized people in the streets just roaming around, snatching up people — many of which turn out to be U.S. citizens that just don't have their papers on them. Are we really gonna be the Gestapo, 'Where's your papers?' Is that what we've come to?"

Another walk in Ghent.
Thought I was on track.
Checked map at lunch.
Seemed like I was lost.
Asked server for directions.
Was only a block off.
I navigate better when I can see the sun
Watching news from US.
Trump sure is trying to distract US from something...

Took Uber as our waiter told us that it is too far to walk to the museum we wanted to see.
He was correct.
Missed the Ghent altarpiece which is being restored.
Another trip in our future?

Expected rain didn't happen.
So we explored more of Ghent on foot.

Got lost.
A stranger pointed us in the right direction.
Fun fact:
Russia now controls less of Ukraine than it did in September 2022.

So let me get this straight. The man who tore down the East Wing of the White House in order to build an oversized ballroom that no one asked for has launched an investigation into Jerome Powell over renovations to the Federal Reserve headquarters.

Did I get that right?

It was a beautiful day for another walk around Ghent.
Very cold, but neither raining nor snowing.
At dinner overheard other Americans talking about Trump's plan for Venezuela.
They echoed Exxon CEO on Friday..."Venezuela is uninvestable."
