60. But you could enter it right now, with the two that have agreed.
What would I add? Besides the surety that I won't sign up, that is.

Whether I'm in or out won't change the hypocrisy of the challenge. The only thing that would do that is for you to attempt the same struggle you set for others.

And I'm not going to train for a marathon, either. Just so you know.

Now, I am trying to learn Mandarin and lose weight, and to keep christians and religious from feeling unwelcome on DU, so if you want to join me in that....
