[big maq]

Just ordered my new model E 15 minutes ago. Can't wait to get back in the boat. After 8 months and 15 pounds, it'll feel good to get rowing again. TO THE MOON!

on a totally different subject, my daughter is part of a UCLA study for teens with autism. Thought my teammates might enjoy viewing the clip that is being broadcast around the country on local CBS stations. This one is from Manakato, MN (anywhere close to our favorite Moose??)

Thank you for sharing. Your daughter is beautiful and so couageous (as were you). I'm not sure if I would have handled the camera as well as the two of you. That proram sounds fantastic. I am a teacher in an elementary school and currently work with 3 students diagnosed with Autism. I could see how a program like this could benefit my students.

I really enjoyed the clip on the UCLA program. As a social worker I know there are not enough programs to help the children with autism and their families. Especially this key piece regarding socilization for those hitting the teen years when kids are so cruel. Thank you for sharing.

Ditto Dan - so what are your goals for the new year?
This is the "C2 New Year's Eve", so I am resolving to do at least a 3 million metre year.
Anyone else going to play?
