While I Was Sleeping

Well, loyal readers, it seems that while I was living it up (i.e. nursing a head cold, cajoling letters of recommendation for a scholarship, watching Bonanza with my grandparents) in KY this spring break, the newshounds were hard at work. I was scooped. Our friend Trent posted this on his blog, Catallarchy. He has dedicated himself to gaining 15 lbs of muscle mass in 100 days, but what he didn't expect is the attention he would attract. He said he's had comments from people who saw his post on a blog roundup on ESPN's Cold Pizza. He also had a mention in the Evansville Courier-Journal (I have a PDF scan of this clip on my e-mail, but obviously can't link to that), the Lexington Herald-Leader and the L.A. Times.

I may be a little slower on the uptake, but I'm one step ahead. As it turns out, I have before pictures. I won't publish them here...unless the price is right. Any takers?

Check Trent's progress here, here and here.

Also, from the looks of this, this and this, it seems like somebody has enough time on his hands to write me a letter.

By hand.

With an honest-to-God envelope and a stamp.
