Snapping Good Health

Since January of 2011, I have lost 40 pounds and I ate a hot dog a day in July. This morning, I went for a check-up with my doctor- he was surprised by my cholesterol levels!

National Hot Dog Month 2011: Larry Joe’s New England Fire Pit in Bellingham, MA

The 27th day of my quest to eat a hot dog a day in honor of National Hot Dog Month brought me to Bellingham, Massachusetts: home of The Fire Pit. A trip to Larry Joe’s New England Fire Pit is always fun. For this trip, my buddy Drew Bennet scored a 2011 Camaro. I got to drive it, but Drew made me promise not to post any video of the ride. Let’s just say I was flirting with the limits of the machine and leave it at that! Larry Joe and I also performed “The Hotdogman.” Larry played the piano and I did the lead vocals.

Here is the video of our visit.
