All that I know about rowing is that these
people get up at wee hours of the morning to go out on the water in the
chilly fall weather. Always seemed crazy to me. But what do
I know? I like to go fight rush hour traffic on two wheels.
Anyway, there has always been something
elegant and maybe a bit romantic about this sport. Ya gotta admire
these people... So I enjoy this autumn spectacle from the shore on
my two wheels.
I love the Charles River. I used
to commute to work along its banks some years ago, and it is just great
for enjoying the scenery while getting some exercise. I regret
that I don't get into the city often enough to enjoy it much these days.
On another note, I missed out on the
record-setting jack-o-lantern festival put on by the Life Is Good
folks. I guess I should read the newspaper in the morning, not the
evening... Anyway, by the time I showed up the next day, all the
gourds were sitting in dumpsters, waiting to be taken away to the
compost heap.
