Hi Fellow Taffians, <br /><br />I just got a nice PM from Carla. I haven't posted for a while so it's time to say hi to everyone again. I've been rowing on the water lately. The river is unfrozen and lately I've had the river all to myself. The students get back from spring break next week, so then ...

I thought you might want to see my stylish rowing shoes. Not only do they help avoid heat build-up with the cutouts over the toes, but also they dry out quickly if I leave them on the dock, and they get splashed from the “wake of some motorboat driver who has been making our rowing lives slightly mi...

Hi John,<br /><br />Xeno or Lucas clearly demonstrate the various drills. As I said, they're great fun. My suggestion is to go ahead and buy one. They're very reasonably priced. I doubt he's getting rich off the sales. Two friends of mine came over and tried one of the DVD's and immediately went hom...

Hi John,<br />I have all four of Xeno's DVD's and they're all different. The upper body indoor rowing workout emphasizes core strength and flexibility. I like the steady work in the 3 by 6 cardio DVD. There is a technique DVD where he has Lucas demonstrate good and bad technique. The first DVD has a...

Hi John,<br />Yes, and Mel's explanation finally made sense to me, and his method of using a piece of rope really does let you get that feeling. By the way, this is a little off topic, have you tried Xeno's DVD's? They're really fun. <br />Byron<br />

Hi Xeno,<br /><br />I hope you'll make a DVD about sculling. I'd like to add such a DVD to my collection. <br /><br />I hope all is well for you and your family,<br /><br />Byron

Hi Matq,<br />Those are great photos. Thanks for posting them. That's awesome. I feel like such a wimp. I only go sculling when there is little or no ice on the river. <br />Byron
