Challenged Few

By Thomas Gallant

A challenge is defined differently by everybody.  For some, a challenge is not eating their 12th donut for breakfast or wiping their ass without getting any on their hand. For others, it’s the Iron-man out in Hawaii or reverse bungee BASE jumping.  This weekend, some of us here at the Doctrine are taking on our own challenges.  For Adam, you might think his challenge is to go an entire day without anybody noticing that he’s wearing a purple thong, but in actuality he’s riding his bike from Manhattan to Fairfield, CT.  In a similar test of strength, I’m joining 3 rowers to take on the Hudson River from the Tappan Zee Bridge to the George Washington Bridge in a 25 kilometer endurance race. I heard a rumor that Johnny was headed to Florida to help Sarah Palin protest the Quran burning (and maybe steal a few locks of her hair) until it got canceled.  I hope Baierman is fixing up a batch of magically delicious bread squares and breakfast links to share with everybody once we’re done.  What challenges you?
