nwhikerIt's really Sunday this time, LOL.
1. Head of the Lake this morning, it was great. Perry's first boat was in the collegiate 8 event (bascially the men's open 8 premier event) in a boat that has rowed together twice before, made up of alumni from Seattle University and WWU. They came in 5th, but managed to beat WWU, which was their goal. Then Anne-Chloe rowed in a mixed master's 8, they came in 4th, tragically 0.8 seconds off of third. Which for a 20 minute or so race is so damn close. Then Perry rowed again in the men's open single. He came in 4h, behind three UW rowers, two of them members of their respective National Teams, one of them an Olympic silver medalist, so he was quite happy with his result. We left after that, since there was a two hour gap until his next race, in the masters double with a teammate. They won that one! He's exhausted this afternoon, he rowed close to 40k today, between warmups, races, getting back to the start line etc. I'll try to post a link to the Flickr set when I get photos uploaded from the camera. The Montlake Cut, still one of my fave places to watch rowing.
2. We voted. Perry voted as soon as we got our ballots in the mail but Linnea wanted to go with us to drop off ballots (long tradition) so we waited for her.
I love that these things, like walking down to drop off ballots, are meaningful to her.
3. There will be no shopping this week (well, we're leaving for Bend on Thursday evening and Perry is awya in the Bay Area for the weekend, rowing), all the food will come from my inside freezer. It desperately needs to be emptied so an effort will be made.
