Thanks for the list, Richard.
No worries, bg. We'll try to figure something out. Maybe we'll need to play a little mix and match...
Is it just me, or does anyone else hear Paul McCartney singing, We're so sorry, Uncle Lino...?

I like Conor, though sometimes his mouth gets the better of him. But he was pretty humble after Diaz 1.
My wife calls him Short Pants.

Thanks Richard !! And one more reminder to everyone: we are at Step 3 of the Horse Race Challenge:
Row or ski-erg 9500 m or more in a single day during the week of the Preakness (May 14 - May 21)

As of this morning's stats, I have 32 people so far who have rowed 9500 m or more in a single day since May 14.
Of those, 26 were participating in the Horse Race Challenge.
Most of the assigned horses are not running in Preakness, so we'll have to see if we can do something about that.
Four 9500+ rowers whose horses are running in Preakness are:
Derric .............. * Exaggerator (you were sharing Exaggerator with Jane)
James ............... * Cherry Wine
Norma ............... * Lani
Virginia L .......... * Awesome Speed

Richard, don't forget to get in your row too. Nyquist is counting on you.


OMG, whose idea was this?

It's a lunar webclipse.
You no longer need to be bitten by a radioactive spider to create a web as good as a spider's.
It doesn't sound easy, but it is interesting.

As long as we're thinking about horses,
it's time to set the record straight.
Tweren't no cow that be jumping over the moon
outside the window of Ye Ol' Cat and Fiddle.
More likely that a potent beverage was involved.
Or was it a donut?

Aww, shucks! Thanks, Richard.
I have been doing less rowing while I try to get in shape for a hiking trip. Turns out I'm more out of shape than I thought. It really makes me appreciate what an accomplishment it is to complete a full or half marathon. Congrats to all those who completed the Global Marathon Challenge!
