Friday afternoon and yesterday i had to leave Earth, so i got a digital edition of  The Deed of Paksenarrion and went off to another land. (Not sure why it's not "deeds," plural.)

The character spirals into poverty and despair -- and i wonder how much time Moon has spent with wounded veterans. The insight and compassion of the story into suffering and then the time and (seeming to me) realistic route of healing  still brings me to tears.

In normal times i would wonder how this country could not create a well resourced network to provide healing and support to the many who served and gave up so much in that service. In these times...

Watched The Accountant, which came out in 2016 and that makes my head hurt.

Thursday night, maybe? I forget.
