I don’t really care about the interest of the many. I care about the interest from the people who chose to take this journey with me every step of the way. Yes, there will be a point where I have to cut you all off from this reality show and go on alone, but I don’t feel I am ready to do that yet. You’ll still get the entries at least once a week and maybe more. I’ve got some ideas stewing about interesting blog entries that could help offset the bland progress reports. We’ll see how this all works out, I suppose.
Again, I am not promising anything, but I do understand the value of these words to the task at hand.
So that’s about it. All I can do from here is try to get back on track. My advantage to this troubled time is that I know exactly what I have to do.

That posting was a paragraph shy of being a novella - but pretty good. You do an awful lot of thinking in that giant head of yours. On ym end I'm sorry about the trail off in comments. I know my words are the inspiration you need to keep going- but am dealing with a lot of the same issues you are with the change to summer: i.e. people like to grill meat and drink delicious beers in the summer and I like to join them. That has lead to a month long off day starting with the Kentucky Derby and hopefully ending last weekend.
So we've got a bit of a countdown going on here. I know you have the resolve to keep the ship on course. You will feel a billion times better about this trip home if you finish strong. Think of Coach Carp (may he rest in peace) - not the times when he was mocking you as you made your way to the opposite side of the track, but the whole part about finishing hard.
Even though numbers don't matter that much - if you want to set your sights on something then 240 is a lofty goal. Try for it- don't go lax and start eyeing 250, because before you know it it will be 2 weeks before you board the plane and you'll be thinking , "just maintain 260". Don't make fucking excuses just do the work. Eat the salad, go to the gym, enjoy the success and then one day rule the world and appoint me Ambassador to the Netherlands.
Talk to you later.
