contented, jogging a bit, usa

He spoke of the pleasure of simple pastimes, like reading, eating & falling with friends. I believe he wanted but three things for a good day: water, a loaf of bread & to talk with friends.

Jogging again at 63
Yesterday I bought jogging shoes & when walking out to feed the horses, found of enjoyable to wear such lightweight shoes. I had to urge to jog and I did. This morning l did it again. Over coming days & weeks, l hope to do more of this funny activity.

I just got off the phone, talking with my daughter who is in Missouri, USA. She & her partner Daniel have been touring about, Tennessee, Kentucky, South Carolina, Illinois, Arkansas too I think. 
She fell for a stray dog, struggles with finding vegetarian food, loved the Laura Ingalls-Wilder museum & many other things, not the least country music concerts.

On the day a gunman nicked ex president Trump's ear the world politcians decried violence as evil, undemocratic & so on, more than 39 people were killed in Palestine. These events highlight mass hypocrisy across the world with regards violence & race.  No one in the media industry will ever mention this hypocrisy.
