My growing up is partly a blur, perhaps because it ended about 40 years ago, and partly because it was less than ideal. However, I am grateful.

I am also grateful for the memory of a joke book I once had. One of the (awful) jokes in the book was about the farmer with a hole in the roof of his barn. On one rainy afternoon, it was proposed by a farmhand that he fix it. The farmer suggested he wait until it stop raining, as it would be much easier. A couple of days later, it was sunny and dry, and the farmhand repeated his offer. The farmer, who was not so bright as it turns out, said it was no longer necessary, as the roof was not leaking anymore.

I bring this up because I have a client who has been very ill, and is just now making a limited recovery. I got the news from his wife, and I was thrilled, and offered to bring over some of my Healing Veg Tea for him. She declined, saying he wasn’t having a good day, and that she herself was ill. Of course, I took the hint and told her they would be in my thoughts.

Then I thought to myself, now, today is the time to have the drink, or my miso soup, or some Chem Defense and Reishi Mushroom extract. Folks, this stuff is not fun food, or a neat idea, it is M-E-D-I-C-I-N-E. Do not delay!!
