Day 2 - Dave is shocked

So as soon as I posted the Day 1 acceptance of Dave's challenge my pager starts to beep.  Sure enough it was Dave - who should be working, not blogging or reading blogs :) - shocked that I actually accepted the challenge.  It read:

"DUDE!!!! You accepted my challenge!! I did not think you would! I AM IMPRESSED!"

Just goes to show you how great of a "friend" Dave is, he had no faith in me whatsoever!  Even after everything we went through together.  I AM DISAPPOINTED!!  I think the truth is Dave knows that there is no way he could do it, must suck being shown up huh?  What nothing to say Dave? Come on!  I officially and publicly challenge you to complete NaBloPoMo too!  Can you do it?



Disclaimer:  If any of Dave's readers have wandered over here to check out the challenge let me make something very clear.  Dave and I are good friends and you have just been let it on what is like every time we work together, see each other, talk, or otherwise communicate.

Thank you Jeff.... But it is true.. I am NOT up to the challange.. I am already posting ~130 posts per year already... And to your 4.

Did I mean 400? No... I meant 4.

Did I mean 40? No... F.O.U.R.

As in one post per 91.25 days.
(averaged)

As in one post per 3 months (plus)
(averaged)

As in you have some post ideas, some I have even given you, but still no posts...

I'll pass thank you... But I am looking forward to 30 of your posts.. You take some great photographs, and I think have a couple of fun new toys I am looking forward to hearing about...

(Hint - one is large and black.. The other is small and black...)

I believe you may have counted wrong Dave. I had 62 posts last year. And I am on pace for at least 33 this year. :)

Then please let me rephrase what I INTENDED to say.

4 posts since the end of last NaBloPoMo. 4 posts between Dec 1 2007 and October 31 2008.

My math may need to be adjusted accordingly... But I think you get the picture.

Jeff said...

The point is understood. Seems 1 post every 10 days is not too bad though, even if they mostly concentrated in 30 days.

How many entries did you post between Dec 1 2007 and Oct. 31 2008

According to THIS PAGE there are 335 days between the END OF LAST NaBloPoMo, and the BEGINNING OF THIS NaBloPoMo...

I counted Trans Am, Mom's Wedding, Hello from Florida and Hello from Nebraska... 4 posts...

335 (days) / 4 (posts) = 83.75 (Days per post on average)

This is almost like trying to tell Dave that working 10 or 12 hour shifts give you more days off every year! :) (snicker)

I'm really curious about the big black and small black things that Jeff has to post about....
