My cousin Mojo rowing in the Head of the Charles Regatta this
past October. In his words: "Until last year's race, I had an
uninterrupted string of 25 years in the BRC boat at the
HOCR. Felt great to be back this year after last
year's little diversion!!" That diversion happened to be heart
surgery. No worries. He attributes his comeback to eating
plenty of turnips, knobs, and kale. Also on the menu is plenty
of wine and the occasional Partagas. Heavy doses of family
and alot of obscure music played on his granite turntable also
round out the therapy schedule.
I won't tell you which oarsman he is, but he has a propensity
for wearing short sleeves and no hat. I love that dude.

Heart surgery? I would have expected an oarsman to have a "stroke" ...
ReplyDelete(just joking K) Glad you're back on the water.
Good one, PB... and a golfer might have "taken a stroke" and "dropped". Glad I didn't! My issue was an aortic aneurysm, discovered (by chance) and repaired (open heart) before it ruptured or caused any problems. Good as new now!
ReplyDeleteGod Bless Him!
ReplyDeleteGood to see him back on the water.
Wow - "discovered by chance" - you are definitely doing something right!
ReplyDeleteI don't even know what Partagas or kale is..... While the rest of you gourmets dine on the like, I'll continue to feed on hamburgers on whole wheat, avocados (there's a comfort foot for you!) and raw red onions!
ReplyDeleteBaydog was exaggerating on the vegetable diet--more of an inside reference to some ritual Thanksgiving fare (knob pictured in profile). Likewise for the cigar. Wine, though... that's indeed on the daily menu!
ReplyDeleteBTW, speaking of raw red onions, and if memory serves, the beloved, departed matriarch of a certain family, whose Favorite Day is Thanksgiving, may have occasionally (in her younger days) eaten a white onion as if it were an apple. She lived to be 96--and had wonderful breath (in case one might be wondering.) She ate plenty of meat and other comfort food too, Doc.
ReplyDeleteDoc! Turnips, Kale, and Knobs ARE comfort foods. When we eat them, we then settle into comfortable chairs and smoke cigars and watch pointy futbol. BTW, avocados are one of my favorite foods. Too bad they're so hard to come by in California! My daughter and her best friend both had burgers with guacamole on top today!
ReplyDeleteI eat avocados three times a day on the Left Wing Coast. They can't be too hard to come by. (You're joking of course!) I've never had to kill for them!
ReplyDeleteDo I get any points for mentioning that the red onions totally replaces the need for any salt?
ReplyDeleteSix. And if you can kick that red onion through the uprights, you get one more.
ReplyDeleteStuffies!
