1/2 Million Meters rowed (at least logged)
I am sure that over the course of my rowing in college and post college I have rowed well over a million meters, perhaps even two. However since I started tracking and recording my rowing online on my own machine I have passed the 500,000m mark today. YAY. In addition I have only 9,241m to go to reach my 200,000m Holiday Challenge

A new instrument - a HANG
While visiting my brother’s family in the Bay Area last month I happened upon a new instrument. We had taken an afternoon trip to see the new DeYoung Museum. As we left the museum my ears perked up beyond the lovely spanish guitar at the entrance to the side garden where an otherworldly musical sound was being made. It sounded like a cross between a steel drum and a new age synthesizer but neither were to be found. Drifting on the melody we found a pair of players with what looked like flying saucers in their laps. . .
