We Gotta Eat
The man with the mop is not the chef, but he must eat like the rest of us.
As the commotion on deck is what it is, the man with the mop calmly makes up a bowl of noodles, adds some broth, and dresses up the top with well sliced bits. He then sits and eats.
We All got to eat.
It very well could be, I survived five decades of field stuff, because I am a stress eater. Some find it hard to eat under duress. I started working on boats in my early teens. I recall eating every time I had the chance, no matter what was going on.
I know people who can’t eat under stress. Electionyearing requires selfcare. Nutrition is critical to dealing with prolonged stress. A bowl of noodles is true comfort food.
