Kona2 - Is that the image of our spaceship you are holding? To the Moon, Kona2!

The tall ships arrived in Duluth, then paraded under the lift bridge, to their docking. Here is the link to some Duluth News-Tribune photos. http://www.duluthnewstribune.com/event/ ... y/id/1739/

It was cameras at five paces! An impromptu meeting of the LunaTics occurred when AJ had a plane change in Denver yesterday! Very fun to meet someone on our virtual team!

Yes, and to show that our chief cheerleader/statistician/operations manager always has us in mind . . .


TO THE MOON!

Good weekend to all......BBB

One quarter.....25 percent....this is the 91st day of the 2011 rowing year....woohoo! We still have three quarters of the year left in which to do some serious rowing...! Go for it!! Not too late to get started on your rise through the ranks. It's never over until the last hour of the last day or the last out (like the Rockies vs the Cubs....it can be the bottom of the 8th inning, two outs....and you never know when you will SCORE ELEVEN RUNS for the home team! How many times do you get to see an inning with 18 batters and the 18th batter is finally struck out with the bases loaded...mercy). Whoa. Had a baseball moment there.

Season meters as of 90/365 = 15,605,360 m

Total meters on the day = 199,957 m

Oars in space (participation) = 21 percent

Need we say more....ok, sure. Half marathon plus 38 m....what's that all about?!

I do realize this is a rhetorical question, but, I am still reeling at the length of the movie, Dr. Zhivago. (Wow, Obi-wan Kenobi was really, really young!) I watched an hour of it, earlier this week ... then thought I'd "just row" last night to finish it. Figured it'd be another hour or so. Imagine my surprise when the session turned into a HM (plus 38) before the credits rolled, around midnight.

Went on an "epic" bike ride yesterday, and golf tourney today....posting is late and includes a good portion of today's rowing meters (except for those who row by the midnight oil, and you know who you are ).

Under the heading of "small world, isn't that interesting" ... my good friend's daughter just graduated from nursing school at UC San Francisco and is headed for a new job in upstate New York. I now find that she is relocating to Glens Falls. Home of Lunatic team members Will(bury) and occasional stomping ground of Dan and Jeanne Cox. I only knew the names of 4 towns in upstate NY, and that was one of them!( I wonder if she visited in the winter ... )

happy birthday, chris.....
