The Numbers Don't Lie

We're five weeks into this foolish foray, and the progress reports have just come in. There are some alarming trends that I felt warranted the attention of our faithful readers and some good old-fashioned New Year's Resolve on the part of our three heroes.


First the good news: While I jumped the gun in publishing this prior to getting Week 5 info for Ross and Gordon (I'll make the necessary edits once the data are in), it's clear that our mileage is trending in the right direction. We're all running at least a marathon per week, so that's good. On top of that, I didn't count biking or weight-lifting, which Ross and Gordon are way better at doing than I am. Let's hope that Gordon doesn't need a total knee replacement as a result of adding sex-meat to his Apollonian frame. Molly likey. Muy bueno.

More alarming is the fact that blog posts and quality (rated on a completely arbitrary 5-point scale) are trending downwards or have dropped off the map altogether. If it weren't for my one-line filler posts that bring virtually nothing to the table, my numbers would be a lot lower in the former category. On the whole, we all need a to make a recommitment to comedic service. It's not like we have anything better to do (e.g. education of young minds, asset management for trusting individuals).

In conclusion, this Christmas, I'm only asking for one thing, and that's an orgasmic blog for the New Year.

Natalie has been yelling at me to do some cleaning ever since I started plugging numbers into my spreadsheet. Gotta go! :(
