163,400 pushups completed
836,600 pushups to go
5,131 pushups ahead of schedule
Things I've done since my last post:
* Said my morning prayers 32 times
* Taken my daily vitamins 31 times (forgot to take them on the road)
* Played in a 3 on 3 basketball tournament. Lost the championship on a last second three point shot
by the other team.
* Busted 1,479 moves
* Clipped my fingernails once
* Did not vomit at all.
* Ate one vomit flavored jelly bean (prank flavors by jelly belly) when we toured the jelly belly warehouse in Pleasant Prairie, WI. They also had a flavor called "Barf". I wonder if there's a subtle difference between "Barf" and "Vomit". Not enough to take the pepsi challenge so to speak, but I do wonder. And consider that it is some food scientist's job to discern between the subtly different tastes, and decide what distinguishes the "Barf" jelly bean from the "Vomit" jelly bean. Is one for after dinner but before the brandy? Is one strictly the appetizer? Which one is more upper crust and which is for the masses? But I digress.
* Three haircuts
* Run 123.58 miles (yes, I track that on a spreadsheet too)
* Found a mix CD I made in 2003 featuring the following songs:
"Informer" - Snow
"Pop Goes the Weasel" - 3rd Bass
"It's Tricky" - Run DMC
...among others. Dang, I was COOL.
* Went to my first Milwaukee Brewers game
* 9,200 pushups
* At least 12 visits to the public pool
* Cut the lawn twice
* Danced. Just friggin' danced.
* Wished my parents a happy 41st anniversary. I'm not entirely sure they remembered.
* Saw my daughter Jane sleep through the loudest 4th of July fireworks ever, only to wake up when I brushed her teeth.
* First two bike rides of the year (now all I have to do is sign up for a triathlon).
* Enrolled 0 people on Team Thunder John's "Nothing But Nets" charity team. I think you're all waiting for the tax write off at the end of the year, which is cool. You can sign up any time though:

Peace out,
Thunder John
