Since my Monkey Bar Gym plans fell through I needed to come up with something to fill these days in Chicago. I’ve decided on a 30 day challenge that I will most likely not share publicly. And not simply because announcing your plans makes you less motivated to accomplish them. It’s more because the particular thing I’m doing is controversial (not illegal, mind you) and I don’t feel like defending it in the slightest. I will say this: I started on it a week ago and it has not been easy to continue on with the daily missions. (Also, I seem to have contracted swine flu in the middle there so I took some days off.) This particular challenge takes 1-2 hours per day. If I was in a more familiar city with more of a routine it would probably take less time and be a little easier, but that’s part of the fun.
You are free to guess what I am doing, but I will not respond with a yes/no. ;) I will consider sharing after the challenge is complete based on how I felt about it. Boom chicka bam! (Dangle carrot, take carrot away, dangle carrot, sorry about that!)

I’ve been joking that I had swine flu last week. In the thick of it, in an attempt to make myself feel better, I wrote/recorded a song about swine flu. It sounds serious, it’s not. Here’s a small snippet …
Have a good weekend!
