I'm at 89

I've now done 89 pushups over 6 sets (approximately 5 minutes).  The program I'm using is trying to get me to 50 consecutive pushups.  I started out at appoximately 25 and I've been doing 20+ on that last set, so I should be, well, at least closer.

I actually pushed another, probably better, post out of the way to make room for this one, so check back later for a post that involves an XKCD comic as well as a glimpse into the mind of Bryan.

Pushups, Editing, And New Writing Opportunities

Just posting an update on some of my goals and progress notes.  I recently managed 255 pushups.  Well above my last update of 220.  I accomplished it in two jumps, the first a quick one to 240, and then a gradual build up to my new heights.  As part of my effort I did 75 pushups over 5 minutes, broken into 5 sets.

Other updates... I've done some light editing to my book.  After rewriting the opening I've now reworked what I think of as the secondary, "soft" opening.  As if I get to make such editorial choices as creating "soft" openings.

I answered a call for guest posts on the blog http://www.ordinaryparent.com/, and so soon you'll be seeing a post about what its like to be a Dad to triplets on that site.  I'm also thinking about writing a piece for the Good Men Project on fertility issues from a man's point of view.
