A Weight Loss Challenge

I have a hair-trigger when it comes to creating events and my nonprofit, 4Missoula, is always on the ready to test out new sorts of get-togethers. Looking back on 4Missoula events we have a couple horseshoe tournaments, a couple bowling tournaments, a bonfire, a sledding party, a weed-pulling effort, a beach volleyball bbq, online bingo, a scavenger hunt, numerous profit-share nights at local restaurants and baseball games, and even a Christmas tree sale!

Some of these events are flops, never-the-less, they're fun and I always move quick to create them. The next idea is a weight loss challenge over the holidays! There might be some videos created, there might be questions, there might be apprehension, the entry fee is $25 and we'll see who wants to participate. 

Here is the website for more information - Healthy Holidays Weight Loss Challenge.


The contest starts with a weigh-in and then 2 months later a second weigh-in with the difference in weights being the determining factor in who wins the pot. Currently the pot sits at $25 with my lone entry there waiting for me to lose some weight and win!

I sincerely hope people take the plunge on this one.

It's like, why wouldn't you?

And that is, I believe, what our country needs, is to think of everyone as part of the tribe. Imagine this whole thing as a spreadsheet with its proportions determined by modern history. The original buffalo herd in the United States was 40 million head. The number of federally recognized tribes in the United States is 600. This means that each tribe honors 66,666 buffalo and anytime someone needs shelter, food, or medicine the herd can be drawn upon. Considering the buffalo market, it costs $2/day or $730/year to care for a buffalo, and let...

Mark's Ranker

I took the liberty to create my own ranking system for the NFL with the logic that a win against one team is a "virtual" win against all the teams that that team has beat, and vice versa. The result is a matrix about 400 columns wide and 1800 rows deep and what I'm hoping is that it increases its "predictive power" each week. Here is what the league looks like after 5 weeks. And here's a little video to help explain things -  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l26Kk4YUZZY
