The first day I’ve felt somewhat less unwell. Medium level body ache, medium level congestion, medium level cough. I’m only moderately tempted to rejoice. Knew I was getting better when I began to think of things I wanted to write. 

Recommended E for an honorary doctorate. 

Decided there was not enough trash in the can to haul it to the sidewalk. 

Have not been entirely successful avoiding images or news of Trump. In a few seconds before I got my finger back on the key, he vowed in his first week in office to take away the accreditation of any university which allows anti-Semitic propaganda. Don’t know what he means by that (maybe any statement even mildly tempered with sympathy for the Palestinian cause), but I do know in a reasonable time the statement would be ludicrous. But the Supreme Court has arranged it that “he can’t do that” isn’t even a deterrent. Who calls him to account if he does?
