I’ve been thinking a lot about how we stay awake to our own lives in a world that keeps getting faster and louder.
So I started a small, quiet project called Tomorrow’s Sidekick — one short story each week, plus a simple mental exercise.
It’s not about technology. It’s about staying human while living alongside it.

No pressure. Just a calm corner of the internet.

Hey all...excited to announce I've started a new project, over here: The Ripple And The Wave. https://therippleandthewave.substack.com My little corner of the internet where science meets storytelling, and simple ideas can lead to unexpected adventures. (and might be some rowing in there...) If you have a moment, I'd be wicked pumped if you'd stop by an take a peak (or even, dare I say, join the mailing list ... and super duper easy to unsubscribe.) Hope to see you there...

Looking for a Last-Minute Gift for A Special Rower or Coach - https://mailchi.mp/3ef95f1feb80/looking-for-a-last-minute-gift-for-a-special-rower-or-coach.
It's a drag to pull out rowing equipment for a new season and realize there is rigging (and repairs) to do...

We can help you (or others) miss that angst and get things ready for storage and for the next season (and for a special price too). For the month of December, we have marked our rowing courses down 20%!

Yes rowing will be happening soon...and yes chances are you are very excited...but...probably not ready.

Equipment-wise I mean.

My latest book has a laser focus on one thing...helping you GET your equipment ready to row and what you should do to KEEP it in its prime.

Full speed ahead friends!

For some of you, it’s been a while. No fault of your own of course – 2020 did a number on all of us.

The good news is that 2021 is full of hope… and probably some anxiety too when it comes to getting back on the water. “Will the equipment be ready?” “Where do I even begin once I open up the boathouse doors?”

I think we’ve got two courses that might be a perfect fit for where you are:

The Basic Sweep Rigging Course will walk you through the basics for getting the boat rigged and back on the water. It was designed for students in the beginner and intermediate range of knowledge and skills and it may be the perfect review to get the cobwebs out.

For new staff joining you this spring, we also have the Rigging Tools for Newbies. This course not only answers the question of “What should I do now coach while I sit here on a snowy day trying not to bug you?” but, it includes a special section on cleaning. And, I have a feeling we will be doing a lot of that this spring.

Happy New Year and hope at least one of these two courses will meet you where you are.
