Resuming Rowing After Four Days Rest

The purpose of this post is to make a commitment in writing which will prod me to get back in the habit of daily rowing. The making of a commitment was accomplished with the publishing of the subject line.  (The four days rest, in case you haven't read earlier posts, were involuntary due to an experience of food poisoning from a local restaurant)

On to the next train of thought:

Whether or not today's rowing shall be ethereal depends on whether or not it is done via the ethernet.

In our case, as in most people's, the local area network/ethernet is connected to the world wide network of the internet.

I like the word ethernet, because of the first two syllables, "ether" but not for its currently most common meaning as the name of an organic molecule.  I like it, rather, for its literary and archaic scientific usage, which are the second and third definitions shown below:

Those definitions of ether, the usage of ethernet in some references to connecting to the internet, and an even more favorite word, "ethereal," are what played together to come up with the name for this blog and the corny pun incorporated into this blog's description on the home page.

Rowing can be an ethereal experience.  Rowing can be a stormy, stressful and sweat-drenching experience.  Rowing can be any level between those two extremes.  God himself, when he took upon the form of a man by the name of Jesus of Nazareth, did a little traveling in a boat propelled by rowers.

For the most ethereal experience possible in rowing, make room for Jesus in your boat at all times but especially when the waters are stormy.
