3. TODAY'S SELF-OBSERVATION
The start of Missus birthday weekend was an absolute success! And so we move into day two. For daytime, Missus is off to see Daughter, and hopefully will not be bullied into giving her money or be subjected to Daughter's immature narcissistic abusive disrespect, it being Missus birthday weekend.

For yours truly, a day of enjoyable self-indulgence beckons - a feast of Tivo entertainment, interrupted only by Son Time and meditation. The evening will then be devoted to Missus. It's a moment to thoroughly enjoy life and all my abundance, and I shall gratefully do so!

8. TRIVIA
The last battle fought at the Great Wall of China was in 1938 during the Sino-Japanese War, which was between the Republic of China and the Empire of Japan. Bullet marks can still be seen in the Wall at Gubeikou.

9. ZEN WISDOM
The seeds of firm conviction already contain within them the flowers and fruits of happiness. But if we plant the seeds of self-doubt, naturally, only noxious weeds will sprout.
