• after watching a good couple 3 food documentaries these past weeks (I especially like the one called "food matters" via Netflix)...talking about the "Gerson therapy" which contends that a fresh vegetable and fruit diet can actually reverse heart disease, and cure cancer (and the like).  I don't have any life threatening ailment (that I'm aware of), but could use a good dose of real food, more to try and stay awake during those long stints at the stalag.  last week, I buy me  a mixed veggie tray and some granny Smith apples, so during breaks I can snack on raw broccoli, carrots, squash, cauliflower, green beans, etc.  followed by whatever kind of hamburger helper and a couple of apples for lunch.   it's only been 4 days, but what a difference already!  I cut back on coffee, and limit my trips to McDonald's...I'm not curing any diseases that I'm aware of, but it sure does shake the zombie-fied feeling that normally hits after about 6-8 hours into the shift.  there's no way that I could become a full fledged vegetarian.  I would die without some kind of angus in my diet.  the movie explains the importance of vitamins as well.  I have a multivitamin and a couple B complex as a supplement.  it also mentions drinking a lot of water.  it's a good movie.  check it out!  the one thing it mentions that I don't even want to pretend to try is an organic coffee enema...no thanks.  the only coffee going in me is thru the hole in my head.

  after work, the pooperdog and I take us a small walk.  we get back just in time before it starts pouring rain.  it feels like a warm ill wind from the south east, and the clouds look a lot like snow clouds.  anyway.  I best get some sleep. I need me a good 8 hours of shut-eye before hitting tonight's stint at the stalag
