Seems the variety of sea-life you've encountered in and out of the water have been rather metaphoric of the two-legged, keyboard-wielding variety who've graced your blog commentary of late! As always in life, some met are graceful, shimmering pearls, some are living, inky paintballs! (Nothing directed at anyone specific.) Certainly, the life you have created on your rowing blog (or blogging row) is anything but boring!<br /><br />As you close in on 500K strokes, have a wild, fun little celebration, but stay safe!

Most Americans have a very materialistic sense of worth. I've often heard comments from people returning from 3rd world countries stating surprise that the people there are so happy. "But how could they be happy when they have so little?!" Exactly for that reason they are happy. They can focus on what's really important...friends, family, and living...not STUFF.<br /><br />Thank you Roz for doing what you do, and being true to yourself!!
