after some time off...

Well, the cobwebs here got pretty thick!!

I took some time off, and enjoyed it tremendously. I love to write, but I think it is channel to hear myself think, more than anything.

So, hopefully in 2014 I will get a little more writing done, that is for sure.

There are so many posts that I started writing, but I just killed off like so many soap bubbles in the tub. Part of that has to do with where I would like to take my blog; in what direction.

I started this blog to describe my experience as I transitioned to Captain at AE; I am still a Captain, 3.5 years later (thankfully!) but wow have there been some changes!

Bankruptcy!
Merger!
Contract dispute!

In addition to that, I generally have aired my views on health and fitness here, too (something else I took a month off from.... exercise. I had a nice light workout today, but it has been since just before Thanksgiving since my last real workout, not to mention my last real post.)

Food... exercise... aviation... That is more than enough for a couple of blogs, and I can barely keep a single one straight! (actually, two, if you include the Maskwa specific blog.)

So there has been a lot going on. There is some interesting things going on in the health world... especially regarding resistant starch., and edible clay.

Gut biome health is being properly seen more and more as intrinsically important to our overall health. That's right... the trillions of 'bugs' in your intestines might play a wildly more important factor in our health than ever thought before, both mentally and physically.

Additionally, after some pestering by blogger and google, I have decided to allow a strip of adverts in the corner of the blog. Click on it... doesn't cost you anything, and maybe they'll throw a cupcake my way.

This morning started my official zero-carb month... After vacation in which I ate every single piece of bread thrown my way, drank lots of beer, and ate sweets galore, it is time to burn off the gut. Yikes. I bet I put on 10 lbs (and since I was not working out regularly, I am willing to bet I lost even more pure muscle mass.)

Interesting studies on vegetarianism... especially this tidbit--- with wildly varying diets, etc... there are no vegetarian or vegan centenarians. None. Zero.

Food for thought indeed!!

So, I am dusting off some posts, and there will be more anon....

Cheers!
