Sunday, March 4, 2007. When I think about Robert Busby, I no longer feel as overwhelmed as I used to. I felt a sense of anger. Murder can make you feel that way.

As I write this, I am beginning my fourth day of fasting. Fasting? Yes, fasting. I am eating rice, unsalted nuts, beans, fruits, vegetables, 100% juice and water. I had spinach for breakfast so that I would not break my fast. Visions of bacon, sausage and ham with two eggs easy over medium just like I like them, danced through my head.
It has been an interesting experience so far. I sometimes feel weak and other times I feel strong. My mind seems to be clearer. I feel as though I have a vision. I feel as though I need to give my readers more to work with as I have done in this issue.
