It is an extravagantly beautiful and guilty pleasure, and as you say, there are amiable tuning effects which seem almost unfair in their obvious elegance. I would like to see this wonderful pastime compared, too, with dancing, given the gifts for anticipation and sharing that it sharpens; with riding, given the stamina and poise required, to say nothing of the upper leg discipline; with skiing, given the alacrity of attention it develops. And then I would be remiss if I didn't ask to see it compared with window shopping, given the fluidity in the lats it develops, for pivoting spontaneously at A La Vieille Russie, at a demonstrably sparkling egg in the window. <br /><br />As you may surmise, I just dismounted from this new toy, and can pronounce it a wonder. Boys need to have one of these things; pure glee.Laurenthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17972899387484460347noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4751850602006071202.post-28761599743149655452011-03-14T19:16:10.626-04:002011-03-14T19:16:10.626-04:00The most aesthetic of sports, and one I remember f...The most aesthetic of sports, and one I remember fondly and with reverence. I was never such a fine-tuned athlete, nor had I such abdominal definition, either before I dipped my oar in the water, or since.Reggie Darlinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04044215790585354363noreply@blogger.com
