Post for Sunday Oct. 3

I'm writing this early because, God willing and my 20-year-old car doesn't die during interstate travel, I'm going to be in a faraway town on Sunday, without my cowboy--a very sad thing! I can't stand to be away from him any more! *big frown*big tears*

Bill is doing great, except for one day this week when he lost 9 pounds in 24 hours. That was kind of scary! Otherwise, his weight is steady. He has no more pain this week, and nothing at all to complain about.

He gets his next 90-day checkup in about 2 weeks. Yikes!

We're on a new eating plan, because we found out from our friend, saint Anna, that carageneen causes tumors to grow REALLY REALLY fast! So we ditched all the food in our house with carageneen (obviously I didn't take the time to learn to spell that word) and found out that all we had left was pretty much vegetables.

We also read that the monks on Mt Athos are on some diet that has been shown to lead to the lowest cancer rates on the planet, almost zero, in thousands of years! So we got onto that diet plan, too.

They eat bread and tea for breakfast, and for lunch and dinner, vegetables (mostly raw), along with rice and pasta, fried potatoes, olives, olive oil. For dinner, a bowl of lentils every night, and whatever raw vegetables they can cram in during the reading of whatever the monks read out loud at night. They also drink this special Greek wine (red) and have some kind of watery sherbet for dessert. That's all I know about it. Oh, on Monday, Wednesday and Friday, they leave out the olive oil. And on weekends, they can have fish.

They're reportedly all thinner than Kate Moss.

No women are allowed on the mountain, ever. Prince Charles goes there several times a year. Thousands of men visit year round--approach by boat via Aegean Sea. Free to visit. If you go, tell me more about what they eat. hahah

So that's the news here.

Till next Sunday, your wishing-she-weren't-leaving cowgirl, and Wild Willy
