Recovering from a couple days' fever and flu. Pretty weak. But have surgery scheduled for Monday, so need to pull things together and toughen up. The nice thing about living in a major American city is that skilled health care is just minutes away. So it didn't take too long to get help set up.

The trip to the dermatologist for my annual screening a couple weeks ago resulted in biopsy and diagnosis of a little thing on my leg that I thought was a healing golf wound: squamous cell carcinoma. Doc assures me removal is routine. But to me, the intended Mohs procedure sounds like the torture of a thousand cuts!

Sunday morning row. A bit longer, to push the Season's total over 500k. Tried to attack my 6k PR, but fell 64" short. Just can't maintain a 2:12 pace for very long.

It is tough to be rowing these daily pieces, knowing my rowing buddy Charlie is probably asleep on his hardwood floor at the moment with an inexplicably sore back. Hard to understand for such a strong rower. I've been there, done that. A stiff, painful back affects your whole outlook. Hope he recovers as quickly as it occurred.
