Hail to the Dinosaurs!
Life is full of interesting things.
Some of them are almost uncanny.
They come under the "Strange But True"
category.
Here's something that happened this
week at Dino Headquarters.
I was sitting at the dining room table,
writing Thank You notes to everyone
who reserved a copy of Knife, Fork,
Muscle during the big pre-publication
special for the little monster.
We clip the Thank You notes to the
order sheets, so when the books get
here -- which should be sometime next
week, since they were printed yesterday --
we can easily match the note and the
order.
Anyhow, there are a lot of orders, and
there have been a lot of Thank You notes
to write.
So there I was, writing more Thank You
notes.
I picked one up.
Trudi had made a big notation on the order
form.
It was order number 1 for Knife, Fork,
Muscle.
That means, it's the very first order we're
going to fill -- and I'm going to sign the
book and flag it as copy no. 1.
It might be a collector's item someday.
Worth big wampum.
And it goes to one of our long-time
Dinos -- and to someone who's been
tossing the iron for many years. So
it's going to a good home.
Anyhow . . .
I started to write the Thank You note for
the man who placed the very first order --
and as I was writing it, I heard a loud
THUD
on the front porch.
So I went out to see what was up.
There was a package on the front porch.
And a UPS truck was already zooming
away.
I bent down and leaned forward -- and
picked it up -- read the label -- took it
inside -- and cut it open with a pocket
knife.
I reached inside the package, and pulled
something out, and laid it on the table.
It was the very first copy of Knife, Fork,
Muscle.
The printing company always sends one
copy that you need to review and approve
before they print the rest of the books.
This was that one copy.
The first copy.
And it was delivered at exactly the moment
that I was writing a Thank You note to the
lucky Dino who placed the very first order.
It was one of those times when truth is
stranger than fiction -- but that's exactly
how it happened.
Hopefully, it's a good sign for Knife, Fork,
Muscle. Maybe lots of readers will think
it's the number 1 book on diet and nutrition
that they've ever read. That would be pretty
good.
In any case, we have the very first copy of
the book -- and it looks great -- and the rest
of them should be arriving sometime next
week -- and that means we're going to go
into super shipping mode to get them right
out the door to you.
So it's going to be a very busy week -- and
that's GREAT!
And that's the report from Dino Headquarters.
Thanks for reading, and have a great day. If
you train today, make it a good one!
Yours in strength,
Brooks Kubik
P.S. You can't have the first copy of Knife, Fork,
Muscle -- that one's taken -- but you CAN have

P.S. 3. Thought for the Day: "When it comes to
old-school barbell training, you can't be first, but
you can be part of a long, grand and glorious
tradition -- and that's a very good thing."
