Wow what a weekend, beautiful weather, good rowing, and lots of memories. I think that there where several valuable lessons that can be learned from this past weekends extravaganza.
1. No one is too tough for sun screen. I never realized that it was possible to have the inside of your ears get sunburned, but I can attest yes it can happen.
2. When camping out in early April always bring a sleeping bag. No matter how hot it is during the day it still gets really cold at night, just ask Drew.
3. Any time in Prospect make sure to dine at the Old Country Buffet, along with the amazing Orange Chicken, you can meet the legendary Jerry Garcia.
4. Always be careful, you never know when you could be dealing with a hazardous rotating beater shaft.
But on a more serious note, an over all great weekend. I think every one had a great time together. These team building activities are so valuable to having a productive season. After seeing all of you row, I can defiantly see that you are on the way to a very productive season, but there is still much work to be done. I know that it is well with in your ability to de even better. Remember anything that I pointed out to you; listen to what Jay will tell you over the next week. You have almost exactly one month until you go to war. You know you have the physical endurance for pain, now it is time to harness that power so that you can move the boat efficiently. I will not be able to attend the race this weekend, but I am confident that you all will make me proud to be associated with Fox Chapel Crew. So go out kick some ass and remember you ultimate goal this season, The Youth National Championships. Good luck, I will be with you in spirit.

I think another thing that should be added to that list is:
Always make sure who's on the other side of the fire before pulling your pants down and farting in it.
Something else to add to that, Jesse, that was a great read, very true, and it will be sad that you won't be with us this weekend. What a great weekend, tons of fun.
