Thanks Chris..
They have changed the MM prizes ..I can go to Cafe Press and buy some neat accessories.I think in a couple more million I will get a Concept2 duffle bag.They recognize major milestones now and offer Cafe Press as an alternative for less major ones

I got rowing shorts for 15million.Love those.The bag will be awesome.I do have a set of glasses..proudly displayed in a lighted corner *** DELETE - SPAM *** cabinet.

As for music..we load our MP3 player regularly..we like alot of classic rock here in our house..the classic greatness from the 60s and 70s.I have ordered the remastered Beatles CDs..I still have the original first album!
If you like any of the new stuff..I like Rob Thomas..he has some really good new music.I like Nickleback and a couple from Outkast..that get my heart pumping in a workout.
Are you on FaceBook by any chance? A few of the team are there and we have been able to connect there.Let us know..

Hope you find some good new tunes..music is just the only way to work out with pizzazz!!

No I am not on Facebook - not much of a social network person, not sure how even how to FacebooK/ twitter and not sure how all that stuff works. I know my son uses it but can't even find him on there.

I listen all kinds o f music - Black Eyed peas to Elvis!!

I wasn't a FB person either til I just jumped right in.Our High School class had some reunions and activities and I decided to see who I could find.I ended up finding classmates from as far back as third grade.We have lived in a few states and I was able to reconnect with many "old" friends.It was fun.We have about 4 or 5 of the team there who I know of..fun to get to know each other in that way.If you ever decide to try FB..let us know so we can find you!!

I wanted to introduce a couple of our newest teammates..

Dalton and Tristan

They are the grandsons of Bobbie and Jim.It is great to see the young ones beginning to row at an early age..a way to become fit and athletic.I am so happy and honored to have them row with us as a team.Tristan also plays football...

Rowing is such a great "sport" and having them on the team is great!!!
Thanks Bobbie and Jim for allowing them to join us!!

Pat

Another interesting point to add..

Kathy has started to row on the water and has added her water "meters".

Our team has many interesting rowers and it is always good to share the accomplishments.
