This Is Why We Row

Pictured here: The University of Toronto defeating Cambridge Blue at Henley Royal Regatta in the Visitors' Challenge Cup. Happy to be in touch with some of the men i have had the rare privilege to race with in championship eights and fours (as seen here). Phone calls with all the old boys resulted in lengthy hour long conversations that made us all laugh. We have all done well in life. Married well. Had kids. Shipping them to privileged schools as our parents once did. Mine shall in a few years attend a proper finishing school such as Ridley College or Upper Canada College. In 2018, we are all still in very good shape. Not a single oarsman that i have rowed with has turned into a fat-shit. A reunion boat is being set up for the upcoming year for programs including U of T, Argonaut Rowing Club and Hanlan Boat Club. Many of us are to travel to Henley on Thames for the races this summer for kicks. I am bringing my son. We are also training to get an entry for an alumni racing 8 for the Head of the Charles in fall. Very excited to be back in a shell with my lads. It's been nearly impossible to row with anyone else. Thanks Len for sending me the pic. Ha.
