The Challenge

I sit before you on the eve of a most courageous challenge set before me. Tomorrow night, at this time, I shall be joining the list legends: Kobyashi, Joey Chestnut, Eater X, and William "The Refrigerator" Perry. That's right, tomorrow I shall become a competitive eater. Let me explain. Last weekend, we were out getting a bite to eat at a pizza place near by. Halfway through the meal we notice that they have a challenge for a team of two people to eat a 30" pizza in 1 hour. No bathroom breaks and no throwing up. So my teammate, Nicole, and I mentioned how we would both like to try it. So tomorrow night this epic gauntlet will be thrown down. If we are successful, we get the pizza for free, a free t-shirt, and our pictures forever immortalized on the wall of Luigi's Pizzeria. If we lose, we will have to pay $40 for the pie and forever have the shame of not being able to do it. Wish us luck.

Not much else to report. The work has been going really well and we've been planting a lot of trees. Also, last night I had a dream come true. We volunteered on behalf of the San Diego Food Bank to sell programs at a San Diego State basketball game. It was phenomenal. I got to yell all night, "PROGRAMS! GET YOUR PROGRAMS HERE!" Then I would make up different saying to attract the customers. Then finally, to top it off, I would make up songs to what the pep band was playing and turn them into songs about selling programs. For instance, "Whoop! Here it is: Programs. Whoop there it is: Programs." When I started to sing to the songs, it was a guaranteed sell. It was a lot of fun and for a great cause.

So long Bill Gwynn readers and hopefully by the time I talk to you next I will have had completed the challenge and be wearing my free t-shirt as I type my next blog. Peace.
