Dichroic Reflections

This is what it looks like

A small apology: I meant to upload some pictures of women erging, but my cable was down from Sunday to Wednesday, which means phone, internet connection and TV were all out. I forgot to upload the pictures once we finally got that fixed. In compensation, though, here are some I'd sent before the cable went kablooie.

We had two more people come over to erg last night, but only one actually wants to go to Boston. The other was there to set a pace for her -- they're good friends and erg together a lot. So they've only actually had three people try out, and they need at least five, including the alternate. Six would be better. I'm sort of glad I opted out of the whole thing, though I have this vision of them pulling me into the boat at the last minute, since I'll be in Boston anyway, to watch Rudder race.

In this morning's practice, I got to row a lightweight women's quad, but for some reason it wasn't as much fun as it has been. We kept rushing Egret who was in stroke, and she kept hollering about it. She was completely right, but the yelling was annoying anyway, because if she's got breath to yell, she's not rowing as hard as she could be, and because I can't hear her, from bow, anyway, since she's yelling downwind (that is, I can hear that she's yelling, but not what she's saying). Stroke seat is really just supposed to communicate through their oar, anyway.

Since it's been awhile, I think an all-rowing entry is pardonable!
