Except most of the actors that were in it are dead….

Reading: 15 pages of Adolf Hitler, Vol 2, by John Toland…and, DONE…this 2 volume set was a well researched biography of Hitler, as well as a history of WW2 as it related to Hitler’s goals and “final solution:” which of course was complete and total extermination of all Jews in his lifetime. It was difficult to read in many places, and fascinating in others. I wish I was a faster reader, so it wouldn’t have taken as long as it did. But, I’m finished now, and ultimately, I am glad to have read it.
AM- woke up at 4:30, but refused to get up until 6:30, as I wanted my 8 hours of sleep. I was SUPER sore yesterday, from Monday’s Leg Day, so desperately needed that rest!
