Reality? Nope. It's all about perception.

Lots of interesting thoughts and wise sayings come about while rowing. This week, another brilliant insight surfaced, compliments of J, one of the guys in my rowing group. (Why do so many boys' names start with J?)

We were taking a break between pieces, and he asked C and I whether we would be going to Masters Nationals (yes for C, no for me). (It rhymes!) J said he didn't think he could go either. His wife is pregnant and is due in early September. Masters Nationals is August 12-15. His comment was this: "Even though it is unlikely to be a problem in reality, [M's] perception is that it will be a problem."

Now there's a guy who's learned his lesson. Probably the hard way. This is their third.
