On the Importance of Pants
It’s been a while, so I should check in myself. Not really much happening, except that I’ve been converging on Holland from the other direction; if his jog goes off as planned we’ll likely meet at 165 later in the week.
In fact, the two of us have a common tailor, who we originally met while passing through Hong Kong on a trip back in college. Luckily for me, he doesn’t visit Boston until a few weeks after Texas, giving me a little more time to get myself in shape. It’s a legitimate concern; the last time I had things remeasured was on my last pass through Hong Kong in July of 2004, just a few weeks before this whole Hollando Diet scheme got started. As a result, I have a pair of tuxedo pants that, despite being accurately tailored, never actually fit properly since I never got around to having them brought in.
Unluckily for me, my appointment is the day after our Yale reunion. Which will not be an event conducive to proper diet and exercise.
I bet you’ll start drifting back into the 150s well in advance of reunion weekend. You ought to be able to stomach (wakka, wakka) a few indulgences over that weekend and still be pretty trim.
As for me, I still have thirteen pounds to go until I hit my goal of 150 lbs. The good news: I dropped hard last night and reached a FOUR YEAR LOW of 163 lbs.!!! The bad news: since April 21, I’ve lost 12 lbs. (source: http://www.hollando.com/diet.) That’s about a month ago, and I have two and a half weeks to lose 13 lbs. That doesn’t bode well for success. But to paraphrase George Michael, I gotta have faith… or at least Faith Crawford’s Awesome Diet Plan.

Congratulations, Holland! When you stay at my fifth-floor walkup in a few weeks, we’ll have to install a bucket-and-pulley from the avenue, lest that extra bit of exercise cause you to vanish into the very air itself.
