I used to play every sport under the sun now I curl, gamble and race.

 

Most of my free time now is on my dream research project. It's the most promising way for me to get a F40 before I'm 26.

Besides that:

Architecture and design
Pursuit of fine ladies
Politics (formal and informal)
Foreign economic development (World Bank/IMF stuff)
Stalking celebrities
Substance experimentation
Vandalism of public property
etc

 

Came across one of my old photos that might fit here. From the middle of nowhere, Arkansas.

 

Rowing. Iv e been on the varsity crew team since a freshman. Its a really intense sport. Our races in the fall are long (3 miles or more) while our races in the spring are shorter (2000 meters). The 2000 meter races are harder than the long head races because of the high strokes per minute and the fact that in the 2000 meter races, you race side by side rather than a time trial like the fall races.
Im so happy that winter training is almost over. spending hours a day on an erg doing hard training down at the boathouse, then coming home exhuasted to do lots of homework is finally going to end soon. In 3 weeks (after finals- we are on a trimester system) we are going to miami for our spring break trip to train. The mens varsity coach cant go because he teaches at a highschool around here, so just the head coach is going, meaning this will be more of a vacation.

Heres a picture from the Head of the Charles in Boston this fall. Its the biggest rowing event in the country. I cant tell if it was takne while we were racing, or after the race on the way back down to the docks.
Ok, i finally got the pic to load. Thats me in 3 seat (3rd from the front)
