The procedure went well. I will have restricted activity for a while. I will start making hotel and car rental arrangements for our trip to US in October.
I have two new goals in life.
In Colombia, the US, and many countries, one-third of the harvested food hits a dumpster and never reaches anyone’s home or restaurant. There has to be a better way to do things that will require imagination. Since we have had Apollo 11, the Internet, and the James Webb Telescope, I am confident that humans can feed everybody.
I will ask the Holocaust Museum Houston to establish a new goal: preventing Holocaust as well as disclosing them. I will take my draft encyclical on war abolition and write a proposal that would fund Doctors Without Borders, a second Marshall Plan to abolish poverty everywhere.
Traveling to different places will help. I was a moderate racist who grew up in Houston. In September 1962, I started my freshman year at Benedictine College in Atchison, Kansas. I received an education that I did not expect. For the first time, I was in class with black people, a cultural shock. In 1964, I read John Howard Griffin´s classic Black Like Me.
I ask the federal government to subsidize people who learn a non-traditional foreign language (like Arabic, Hundi or Urdu) and spend time in an underdeveloped country.
I recommend reducing American overseas bases from 750 to 100 and lowering our nuclear warheads from 5,500 to 1,000.
This Electric Light Orchestra Song is a gem. I missed it quality when I only knew the audio version. I invited you to see the show on YouTube as well as listen.
