Just finished Isabel Allende's PAULA. This book made me feel
like a life of drab compared. No comparing. The life she was born to refers me to a remark by Bob Grundstein decades ago in Concord, New Hampshire: "I feel sorry for anyone born in Indianapolis."
And that leads to Rev. Rosalyn Brueye saying: "Some are in such a hurry to be born they land in the wrong spot" or something like that.

This is my hometown. This is where early on I recognized an inferiority complex over the whole area cause we weren't New York or Paris.
Nope we aren't. I am reading E.L. Doctorow's RAGTIME.
This is summer solstice June 21 and I am reading something so sad...
about miserable people who go out of their way to hurt others.
The book has me near tears. Not the fact that I've disappointed myself again... Here I 'cat-sit" for a darlin friend who is in Mexico for the week
and I have yet to get into the sauna for a sweat the smoke out of my
cells. Here I am on a fine Saturday night and it's 'another Saturday night and I ain't got nobody" ok. fine, good.

Todobem refers to four months spent in hot Brasil, happy to know that much Portuguese... happy to even spell the language.
Happy to have been there where so fine the people, the music,
the language, the food, and so many were the mosquitoes.
Todobem? Is everything fine? todobem... everything is fine.

Avoidance. Avoiding pain, avoiding anger, avoiding love, avoiding commitment, avoiding doctors, avoiding health, avoiding acceptance,
and too late to buy a lotto ticket.

Stream of consciousness... in the past what of the present no future to consider. nope nope nope

Sanctuary... I want and need Sanctuary.

HEALTH QUESTION &ANSWER SESSION Q: I've heard that cardiovascular exercise can prolong life; is this true? A: Your heart is only good for so many beats, and that's it... don't waste them on exercise. Everything wears out eventually. Speeding up your heart will not make you live longer; that's like saying you can extend the life of your car by driving it faster. Want to live longer? Take a nap. Q: Should I cut down on meat and eat more fruits and vegetables? A: You must grasp logistical efficiencies. What does a cow eat? Hay and corn. And what are these? Vegetables. So a steak is nothing more than an efficient mechanism of delivering vegetables to your system. Need grain? Eat chicken. Beef is also a good source of field grass (green leafy vegetable). And a pork chop can give you 100% of your recommended daily allowance of vegetable products. Q: Should I reduce my alcohol intake? A: No, not at all. Wine is made from fruit. Brandy is distilled wine, that means they take the water out of the fruity bit so you get even more of the goodness that way. Beer is also made out of grain. Bottoms up! Q: How can I calculate my body/fat ratio? A: Well, if you have a body and you have fat, your ratio is one to one. If you have two bodies, your ratio is two to one, etc. Q: What are some of the advantages of participating in a regular exercise program? A: Can't think of a single one, sorry. My philosophy is: No Pain...Good! Q: Aren't fried foods bad for you? A: YOU'RE NOT LISTENING!!!... Foods are fried these days in vegetable oil. In fact, they're permeated in it. How could getting more vegetables be bad for you? Q: Will sit-ups help prevent me from getting a little soft around the middle? A: Definitely not! When you exercise a muscle, it gets bigger. You should only be doing sit-ups if you want a bigger stomach. Q: Is chocolate bad for me? A: Are you crazy? HELLO . Cocoa beans! Another vegetable!!! It's the best feel-good food around! Q: Is swimming good for your figure? A: If swimming is good for your figure, explain whales to me. Q: Is getting in-shape important for my lifestyle? A: Hey! 'Round' is a shape! Well, I hope this has cleared up any misconceptions you may have had about food and diets. And remember: "Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways - Chardonnay in one hand - chocolate in the other - body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming Whoo what a ride". With our heartfelt BEST wishes for a healthy, serene and fun-filled 2006!Remember: Being in good health is slowest possible means by which one can possibly die!
