What a way to celebrate my half-birthday (turned 75 on May 9) — an early morning row… in a T-shirt… in November!
Proof that movement is medicine — because when you rest, you rust.
Get out there, move a little, and celebrate your next half-birthday in motion!

When I took this black-and-white photo in 1975 with my dad’s Linhoff 4x5 inch view camera, I never imagined a world where I could colorize it in seconds (Photoshop Beta here)— or that my darkroom would fit in my laptop. 🤣

I was going to say, "Fall bike riding," but I don't like to use the words fall and bike in the same sentence.
