bear clawed

This is called getting bear clawed. It's also called wearing flip flops with BMX pedals on a road bike that slips a chain ring.

Yes, those are jorts and my floor needs refinishing.

Those are Poverty brand pedals with very sharp claws. Very good in the winter. Not so good with flip flops and slipped chains. When you have a slipping chain ring it usually happens right before you head into traffic, which makes it both painful and embarassing.

huskies rowing

I tried to get Nick into rowing. I enrolled him in an Afterschool Matters program that actually paid him to row. The teacher thought he was a very good cockswain which is not an actual rower but, to me that was amazing news. He thought Nick was very good at taking charge of the boat.

Nick never allowed me to be any where near where he was rowing and for some reason I respected that. I never saw him in a boat.

You know you have a weird job when 1 failure is catastrophic and 2 is systemic.
