Own the Day

He only is rich who owns the day. There is no king, rich man, fairy or demon who possesses such power as that. The days come and go like muffled and veiled figures sent from a distant, friendly party: but they say nothing, and if we do not use the gifts they bring, they carry them as silently away.

--Ralph Waldo Emerson

Video from practice 10/8/10

Everyone looking good and gearing up for racing season during a gorgeous day of practice. The video is kind of a mish-mash of clips of both varsity men's 8s and the varsity women's 8 in no particular order.

Great job to all who raced Sunday. Choppy water and a long course made for somewhat difficult conditions, but competition and racing was great. View results here: Textile Results

At the end of practice

This afternoon the weather finally cleared after a couple days of torrential downpours and heavy winds. We worked on timing and rowing as a boat while enjoying some sun and the beginnings of the fall foliage. What a lovely way to end the week!
