I had to join the over 60 league in 2012, and I thought I would be competitive. NOT! There are some killer 60+ twerkers out there.

Re: What are you reading?

I almost made it to the halfway point in Billy Lynn's Long Halftime Walk. I haven't yet made it to the halfway point in Bully Pulpit. But I, nevertheless, started another book, All God's Dangers, after recently reading what Dwight Garner had to say about it. http://www.nytimes.com/2014/04/19/books/a...

Top of the Lake, Orphan Black and The Americans. Of the three, I like Top of the Lake best. All good. I think, as far as pure enjoyment, I might have liked The Americans better but Top of the Lake was excellent. Did you see "The Fall"? That was another good one (I think it was Stone that ...

Re: Blues, boogie-woogie and stride piano

My old man is a boogie-woogie enthusiast and had a record or two featuring Pete Johnson, Albert Ammons (father of Gene "Jug" Ammons), and Meade "Lux" Lewis. Great stuff. I bought this one a couple of months ago. https://www.mosaicrecords.com/discography.asp?number=MS-030&pri...

Re: 75 pounds down ...

I don't have any problems at all with my neck and rowing. How is your technique? The Concept2 website has good videos on proper technique if you think that would be useful. Might be something in here about making adjustments. http://www.fitnessapparaat.nl/fileuploader/download/download/?d=0&file...

Re: 75 pounds down ...

Footballs are doing better, thanks!

Claude, yea, I do have a Concept2 Rower, and I just put in a 25min. 5K on it. It's not too hard on my feet, as long as I can flex them without pain.

You still using yours? Or do you row at the gym?

Re: Crimea

Sevastopol is Russia's only warm water port. They aren't going to turn it over to NATO. Given that Russia has been invaded by the West on and off since the 13th century, starting with the Teutonic Knights, and, more recently Napoleon and Hitler, Putin thought it strategically wise to maintain a crit...

Re: 75 pounds down ...

I've been trying to work through a flare up of metatarsalgia. It's kept me from running as much as I like to. Running has always been my big calorie burner. My podiatrist gave me a bottle of industrial strength naproxen today. Told me to take the whole bottle and not run for several weeks.
