More Planes

I am sitting at the Albany, NY airport getting ready to head home for a week. I feel like I need a break.

I have been doing more writing lately. I finished Chapter 9, entered the daily flash fiction a few times, updated my blog and wrote a 55 word story. On the flight home I hope to get chapter ten well underway.

I am on a diet of sorts. I am 6'1" tall and two months ago I weighed 213 pounds. Not fat but carrying more than I want. I went on a diet that is essentially "No white food." No white bread or rice or sugar. This cuts out all pastries and ice cream. Man I love ice cream. I have been eating non-white like there is no tomorrow. I went from white rice and white bread to brown rice and brown bread. The pounds are just falling off and the brown food actually tastes better! I need to get a new belt when I get home. I don't mean to brag; I rather think I am encouraging others.

This is a small airport and the guy announcing flights is kind of funny. He just told everyone that a plane is landing and, by the way, the Celtic are playing tonight. Earlier he told people that the green tags you use to check your luggage plane-side are free but he intends to charge $5 for each one after the boarding process starts. I like this kind of humor.

I think someone has been hitting my port with great gusto. Yesterday, I had my stories viewed 62 times! I am not sure if I should be flattered or if someone is just bulking up on the GPs I give to readers. Either way is fine with me. I have lots of GPs and when those are gone, I can always get more.

I wrote a story this morning for Flash Fiction about Tarzan's elephant Tantor. I cried when I finished it.
