Today was today. It wasn't great and it wasn't horrible. We finally rowed a Varsityish boat (notice no quotation marks?) in the Ferrari with all the deserving members. Not to say that the other guys aren't worthy but we put in a hell of a lot of time in that damn Chevy, and each of those guys has paid their dues. Some more than others. We rowed all eight today, which doesn't seem as fast as it used to. I remember calling for full pressure and feeling like I was really driving a Ferrari but now I might as well be in the Chevy station wagon. The masters women I cox for felt faster than that this morning and they were light weights. Steering has gotten worse since Monday. All I can say is .... .... there are gonna be some big pissed off heavyweights pretty soon, and they are gonna be a little less understanding than me when we get cut off for the umpteenth time in three days and the lightweights don't give us enough room to move. That boat's gonna go faster than Christiano de Matta flooring it when I call for the bowball up the coxn's a** in two.Dieting. All coxn and lightweight's favorite topic. Now, I have to really diet to be where I need to be, I won't lie to you. (I won't lie to the guys about this, but they have to ask nicely if they want to know. They think I need to carry weight. Haha, when they find out I can eat just as much pizza and bread as the rest of them they are gonna be in for a surprise when the boat is a little heavy during practice the next day.) Today I was talking with one of the girls captains who used to be lightweight. We of course talked about cutting weight. She's got really good ideas that I've never thought of. I'm thinking of making her my sponsor, you know like recovering drug addicts have sponsors to keep them on track (ER, Dr. Carter and his addiction, with Abby as his sponsor? I haven't started school yet and ER's on at 10 and 11 am every weekday. What can I say I'm bored.). Penguin used to help me with my diet but she's not big enough to inflict any pain on me so I'm thinking Jenna's looking good for a sponsor right now, she's almost 6 feet. I'm not going to even try to write publicly what went on during practice today. Let's just say that stroke had personal problems and we had to finish 24 of 30 minutes of leapfrogging as a seven, with no stroke rate. If I go into the details I am likely to either explode into a million tiny pieces or break down crying (I wish I could cry but I can't. I don't know, nothing is really inspiring to me enough to cry. I really wish I could though.) So I hope you're all enjoying your seasons and talk to you soon. Never forget to fight. ~YogiB
