I guess since I belong to the football and basketball clubs at Columbia, I could say I played football and basketball for Columbia University. Heh - I was chatting with my rheumatologist after my recent appointment and she mentioned that her husband played baseball for Brandeis University and had been drafted by the Chicago Cubs. I kind of laughed and said "Brandeis has a baseball team"? Turns out they do and it's not a bad baseball team. They play in the ECAC league and have a few UAA All-Stars every year. Who knew? :) -- "Far better it is to dare mighty things, to win glorious triumphs even though checkered by failure, than to rank with those poor spirits who neither enjoy nor suffer much because they live in the gray twilight that knows neither victory nor defeat."

Where the hell do they row in the middle of Kansas? First, Lawrence, Kansas is not in the middle of Kansas. It is in northeastern Kansas. Second, the Kaw River in the Lawrence area accommodates all manner of small boats and at higher water levels, is interestingly navigable. It's also well-known for orgiastic sandbar parties. Third, there's a lake a little west of Lawrence that quite suitable for crew. Probably larger than the lakes on which you run your overpowered bass boats. |

I visited the pen at Leavenworth to cover a college graduation ceremony If you want central Kansas, you might find Great Bend, KS, of interest. In the good old days, the KC Star owed the Great Bend Tribune, and the threat from the city editor was that if you ****ed up a big story, he'd send you out to the Tribune to do penance. Thanks to the Star's desire to cover its geo area as completely as possible, we reporters got to travel far and wide in Kansas, Missouri, Oklahoma and Nebraska. One of my favorite far-away places in Kansas was Liberal, down in the SW corner. You'd like it...pretty good airplane museum. You apparently haven't spent much time out there - Kansas, Missouri, Nebraska, Oklahoma. Many interesting places and people. |

I guess if you visited the place, it suddenly becomes more interesting. -- Looking to for a good time? click here to make yourself feel good. http://tinyurl.com/d3vxvm |

Eisboch Alas, my time in Kansas itself was pretty much boatless *except* for a few times the father of a girl I was dating took us out on a lake near their home in Topeka. I'm not sure there *were* Bayliners in those days. Now, when I moved to KCMO to work at The Star, one of the city editors had a place at the Lake of the Ozarks in Missouri, and he had a beautiful wood Century powerboat. He held lots of parties in the summer, just about every other weekend, and I went to a few. |
