“The Book”: An Update

The long march is coming to an end. I have a final copy to approve and some index changes. My daily penance of posting about depression busting foods on this blog every single day until the book is available is becoming a long march in itself. It looks like I missed my obligation entirely yesterday and today I can hardly hold my arms at the computer because they have been dragging brush and decaying wood to a burn pile. We’re cleaning the place up for a wedding in early August that will be right here on our property. The amount of trash around here is unbelievable. This was my parents’ house for many years and my father saved every piece of scrap wood from his projects. You shouldn’t have to haul 18″ 2x4s to a burn pile that should have been disposed of twenty years ago.
I said to the guys who were here helping, “If you are wood recyclers and if it’s going to make you cry to see me burn this stuff, this isn’t the job for you.”
“That pile of junk?”
We fueled ourselves on egg salad sandwiches, a great depression-fighting food. I am trying to keep up the dried liver regimen as well.
