Rowing sprints
Sprint races, as in Olympic regattas, are the most straightforward form of racing between rowing crews. All the crews start together, race down a straight course, usually 2000 metres long, and the first to cross the finish line is the winner. The rules for such races are therefore not particularly complicated.

The Beginning of My Love for Track and Field
Running is a sport that you can try at any age. You could start at kindergarten or be a first time runner at the age of 25. It can be done - it is just a matter of how much you love it and are motivated to continue the sport. At what age do you become a runner? For myself, I decided to try it at a young age and it became my best sport. I began my days in Hershey Track in the 4th grade. The first year I was on my own because my sister and brother did not seem interested. Being the oldest in my family, I tried a season of track in the summer of 1986. It is not easy to remember it, but there are some parts I can remember. It was the beginning of my love for running that would follow me for many years.

The Top 5 UFC Fights to Rewatch
The UFC has been around for almost 30 years. The company has gone through many challenges and trails from the state’s committee, to having the harsh reputation of being human cockfighting. Yet with Zuffa and UFC president Dana White being in charge, they manage to make MMA into a official sport. They change the fights from no time limit to 5 minutes in each 5 rounds, they made safety rules and policies to prevent any long term damage to a fighter, and they made weight classes to stop mismatch between a lightweight fighting a heavyweight. With all these changes, they are many fights from different weight classes that are worth watching for new MMA fans, or rewatching for long time fans. Here’s are the top 5 fights you must watch.

Randy Johnson's Perfect Game
I was recently asked what I thought was one of the great feats in baseball. Now that is hard to judge because there were so many. But as an old pitcher, I guess I am partial to pitching performances that are above and beyond the normal every day on the mound and sometimes bring back memories of my own glory days on the mound.

Thoughts on the last dance
Seeing the Last Dance on Netflix showed me a little bit about hoops in the age of Michael Jordan. I know it's a little late for a Last Dance review, but with Scottie Pippen's new book, it feels appropriate. As Scottie tries to recover his place on the Chicago Bulls' championship teams.

A Friend Comes Home
The Federal Express delivery arrived from New Jersey. My heart was beating fast and, as I opened the box and saw my old friend, I’m not embarrassed to say that my eyes welled up with tears.

Crusade Against the Aged
CRUSADE AGAINST THE AGED It was pissing down when I ventured into the herb garden for my chives. Pissing down and dark, as if the sky couldn’t get any darker when facing the Sun. But it could. To the West I saw them, approaching menacingly. They had found us. Wave after wave of Enforcer Aircraft, blackening the sky within seconds. I ran for my shelter, dug into the ground on the first day I had arrived on the island. Through the tiny slither I had fashioned as a lookout, I could see the carnage unfolding in front of me. Island inhabitants being murdered by The Enforcers. Just being gunned down where they stood, or in the back as they tried to escape. Dressed all in black from head to toe and faces behind disguising helmets. It was difficult to ascertain if the murderers were Human or Droids. They must be Droids, there were hundreds of them. There couldn’t be that many Humans in one place that could kill so happily.
