At the end of each four week period (28 days) Captain Mark will give me the following statistics to post. This will be the highlight of the blog each month, I AM SURE! I thought it would also be interesting if along with these mundane and anal facts that I include a photo update of Captain Mark’s ponytail. This way we can see if there is a correlation between the amount of fuel consumed and how quickly the ponytail grows. I would say that we should also track how quickly the Captain’s hair is graying but since my hair is grayer than Mark’s we will not note or record that vital statistic.
