it's an intense sport. you work yourself until you think you're gonna die. but you don't die. when your conditioning or rowing is over, you just collapse, or puke, or whatever... and you keep going.

but that's what it's all about.

Hello Kat,
It's Tara. I don't know if you use this but I just wanted to say Hi. Thank you for the letter and picture. It made me so happy when I opened it, sorry for not replying sooner. I will write a proper letter back eventually I promise. I hope all is well. Let me know how life is. Miss you

Wow, Tara, hi right back to you! I'm glad the letter got to you; I've been thinking about you a lot lately. Everything is going well, as a matter of fact, but sort of drifting in terms of direction. Which is okay for now, I think. I miss you like crazy and I love you and it's so good to hear from you. I hope you're well, too.

Take care and keep in touch
