Old Boys And Old Girls: A Day Without An Ending

My soul is filled with happiness reconnecting with old friends. 

Par Excellence 2000 Meters

A brisk morning row with Canadian and US elite oarsmen and oarswomen who rowed at Ridley, at Ivy/Canadian universities, and respected National teams of Canada and USA (in grad classes ending in 3's and 8's only). #RidleyGraduateBoatClub

Athletes Row. Everyone Else Just Plays Games

Congratulations to Ridley oarsman, Mac Copp now ranked 4th in the World as a Canadian rower. Coached by none other than Jason Dorland for acquiring focus, commitment, and perseverance for going the distance.

Art Of The Sports Car

Wonderful time at this year's Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance. Surrounded by some of the most delicious sculpture designs for automotive performance. My favorite automobile was the 1958 Fezza Testa Rossa in pastel yellow. I also liked the 1937 Touring Alfa Romeo 8C 2900B pictured here that won best of show, and an ultra-rare restoration of an art deco Peugeot from the same era. The owners and spectators were equally as exciting as the fine automobiles. Joy of Pebble, see you in November for the Monterey Half Marathon.

The Spirit Of Racing

Jumping In Puddles

A rakish Cadence stars as a model for an ad campaign for an elite junior prep school on the East Coast covered in mud and water. Pictured here are also some images for new ad campaign from Ralph Lauren Purple Label. It is no surprise that the sportsmen of England's elite schools in the 19th century had some influence on the modern man's style. Rowing clubs of Oxford and Cambridge used the word "blazer" to describe the blazingly, brightly colored jackets worn by rowers in the 1850s, eventually growing more ubiquitous over time into the semiformal jacket we know today. I love the new campaign. I am a fan of English tailoring including both Paul Smith and English inspired RL.
