Congratulations Jim, was great motivation trying to keep up with you.

Thanks to Pat for the stats, and thanks to Linda - your telling me not to give up was the kick up the back side I needed.

Andrew - I am scared to ask what your nickname for me is, probably best I don't know.

The forum was fun and interesting. Finally thanks to my wife for putting up with my rowing addiction. It's our wedding anniversary and I love you.

Until the next time!

Took a couple of days off and am now having trouble getting back into the swing of things. Work is a bear, too, which doesn't help. There is time to do the rowing; I just have to choose the right place to sit at the end of the day!

Goal for the rest of October: at least 10,000 per day!

BTW, Kathy, what did they feed those hungry Pats yesterday???? Yikes, what a win!

Kathy and Linda...

My wife and I are long suffering...VERY long suffering Bills fans. We go back to 4 failed SuperBowls (4 years running) and THEN some.

Well the Bills beat the Jets yesterday...lol, only because nobody seemed to want to win it!

There's always next year

Mike,

I've found that I'm much happier when I follow lots of teams in baseball, basketball, & football, so SOMEONE, somewhere has to be winning! We mostly follow the Rockies, Broncos (talk about history, we sure miss Elway), and all of the UW teams. If my teams don't win, then I try to revel when my friends' teams win!

A high school friend was married to a Bills' player, Bob Chander. Do you remember him? He played with OJ at USC. Bob passed away suddenly several years ago from lung cancer. It was very sad. I hope your Bills continue to win. Any W is a win, no matter how ugly (and following UW, the Rockies, & the Broncos, we know this for a fact!)!

~Linda

Linda,

I'm with you ... watching the Phillies as I type!

Bob Chandler...of course, tremendous receiver and all around athlete, died WAY too young. Poor guys dies of lung cancer and was, as far as I've been told, a non-smoker. Yet, OJ, continues on...sometimes there is no justice.

Now, back to my regularly scheduled program...

Oh no...Dodgers just tied it up...

Mike
