Saturday, 5/3

As you can tell, I’ve been very delinquent in my blog updates. Which is not for lack of things to write about; since my last post I’ve taken a trip to Berlin, coached the better part of a season of High School Rowing, and had my last forays into my government career at the USPTO.
Hopefully, over the next few weeks, I’ll be able to devote a little bit of time to each of those topics and more.

This blog is, for the time being, becoming “Ben’s Retirement Blog” at Donny’s suggestion. Hopefully it will chronicle my quotidian pursuits from now until I leave for my long summer trip, the topic of yet another day, I’m sure.

For now I am in Raleigh, I drove down after a phenomenal regatta day at the Ted Phoenix Regatta, the championship regatta for my Novice Men’s crew. By far the best I have seen my rowers perform, and a race they can be proud of. I hope it will give them the inspiration to train hard over the summer to come back even faster next year.

Tomorrow will probably consist of a lot of time at Lake Wheeler helping the NCSU boats prepare for their championship, the Dad Vail regatta.

Topics to come:
Berlin
Coaching
Separation
Summer Travel
