I have been following your progress throughout and loved the interview.<BR/><BR/>On topic of the Portuguese Man o' War "the booger like purple thing." It is very harmful to fish and humans, meaning don't ever touch it dead or alive. However, they are interesting creatures because they are actually a group of organisms working together (4 Polyps). Each has their own function to create the whole organism. It also gets its name because the top part that sticks out of the water resembles an old warship at full sail.<BR/><BR/>Probably more than you wanted to know, but there you have it. Row strong and don't let the winds get you down. Me and my co-workers down here in NW Florida are following your incredible journey.<BR/><BR/>Take care!!<BR/><BR/>Brooke S.

You are, relatively speaking, suuuuper crazy close. I know you have the juice. If you didn't, you wouldn't be where you are now. <BR/><BR/>So play some Neil Diamond and Turn On Your Heartlight, man! Or, you know, whatever inspires you, haha.

On his Day 69 - a huge rowing day, the Dow bounced by almost 400 points - yesterday, a slow day for Liv, and the Dow only managed 30 points...hmmm.....We better get this row finished up so the world economy can stabilize. Hope for Rowing during the last few weeks - do your Wind Dances, Prayers, Chants - whatever...<BR/>Keep up the support for Row for Hope - Thanks -<BR/><BR/>March 12, 2009 1:14 PM<BR/><BR/> <BR/> Anonymous said... <BR/>Perhaps under the heading of wind dances, tomorrow, Friday, will be an especially good day. For all of the Colgate friends, and friends of friends, tomorrow is "'GATE DAY" 13 being a special number in the Colgate community. So friends, to honor Paul, it would be an especially good day to hit the donate button with a contribution of $13, or multiples thereof! How well timed is this trip that it spans Two 'GATE Days?!?!<BR/><BR/>To Paul, Be safe, Be well and Row Hard!<BR/><BR/>March 12, 2009 2:38 PM<BR/><BR/> <BR/> Anonymous said... <BR/>Paul, <BR/>Hope the transmission issues get worked out. My ski house will be wearing some Row For Hope marketing materials (hope this is OK!!) up in Stowe, VT, this weekend. Hoping to bring in some $$$. Will send pictures on Monday. I'm sure they will prove hilarious. <BR/>Keely<BR/><BR/>March 12, 2009 8:16 PMAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7687581172447454797.post-29165777454339903202009-03-12T22:00:00.000+00:002009-03-12T22:00:00.000+00:00ok, so I'm not completely computer stupid, but I ...ok, so I'm not completely computer stupid, but I didn't see the pictures.
