Don’t let Jen fool you folks. Jerry is a cruel taskmaster. If you doubt me, just ask poor Tom Green whom Jerry was literally WHIPPING into shap on the rower just the other day. I took the photos to prove it but apparently Jen didn’t want to scare anyone off.

Haha.. “Oh, I have to go to Miami tomorrow.” LOL. How in the hell does that happen? Oh, that reminds, me, I have to go to Krgyzstan in two weeks. Ha…yeah…jealous much?

Thanks, stinky bear. I know you did!

Okay, change in schedule for Bumsteads… I’ve gotta head to Miami tomorrow to teach bachata and lap dance (kinda scared of this one… lap dance classes in miami during spring break… dangerous!) So we’ll do Bumsteads when Mary gets back instead!!

Oh, and that leaves an extra space in the rowing class, I’ll take my name off the roster.

I rowed 5k the other day and it was pretty pathetic. Someone take notes. You can add that to Steve’s list of academic programs under “distance learning.”

And I really miss me some Bumsted’s.

I love rowing. A while back Mike H. gave us a crash course on rowing and ever since I row like a Viking on her way to a raid. I’ll be there for sure.

A few months back Carl told me my rowing sucked, and it totally did! I really dread that machine, and that’s why I will be there on Saturday.

Also, if anyone wants to join: Sweet Potato fries and Karaoke at Bumsteads on 4th ave this Saturday! 9:30 pm. Y’all better show up, everyone is invited!

Hmmm…I’m not used to seeing my name associated with “kindness” too often, but I do know rowing. Rowing is a fluid motion, so I basically see this as an opportunity to review some of the fundamental mechanics involved (i.e., position, movement and force/power) so that one can maximize their effort. For those with the “basics,” there are numerous opportunities for fine-tuning to make the erg-version of the rowing stroke more efficient and “effortless.”
