15 Days, 0 Confirmed Heart Attacks.

15 days in, just about halfway. Two things of note. First, I have not had any major health incidents. No grabbers, no meat sweats, no sudden black outs from the lack of vegetables in my diet. Second, I am not sick of hot dogs yet. To the contrary, I am now looking forward to the dogs. Yesterday circumstances prevented me from eating any so I made up for it with 5 today. To paraphrase Johnny Cash, the hot dog I had for breakfast wasn't bad, so I had one more for dessert.

I have not yet tried either hot dog restaurant in town (Chicago Dawg House or Coney Island). I will get to both of them eventually, though Chicago Dawg House is on Maple and I'm not fond of the northwest side. Pretty rough up there. Lots of turf wars between the white people and the slightly whiter people.

Though I have no idea what all of these hot dogs are doing to my cholesterol, I haven't gained any weight yet. I have been working out pretty regularly, but I choose to believe that the hot dog has magical powers of weight loss. Sure "science" might disagree, but you can find a scientist (or ex-Vice-President) to make up anything and say its true. You want to know what causes global warming? Mustaches. If I make a movie about it will it be more true?

I could sell the secrets of the "Hot Dog Diet", but for my reader(s) I will give it away. Here is how it works:

1. Eat at least one hot dog each day.
2. Burn more calories than you consume.

Its just that simple - you'll be amazed at the results of my amazing Hot Dog Diet!!

RAGBRAI this Sunday. Never done it before, 50 miles but I'm told its an easy 50. Should be easy if there are enough hot dogs along the route to power me. Otherwise maybe I'll just cream some hot dogs, buns, and mustard and put it in some ziploc bags like white trash poi.

Dog on . . .
