...year-old senior is sitting in the library, talking about his social life. "If I found someone to date, it would be fine," he says. "But I'm pretty shy around girls. I really don't know what to talk about to girls. I spend a lot of time reading books, science fiction and horror. I guess I could talk to them about school or current events, but I wouldn't know what to say beyond that. My mom wants me to date more, to go to the prom and stuff. She says she'll rent me a limo...

...this is the one regatta where it is a spectator sport. I mean the Olympics are a spectator sport, but this is truly a spectator sport in that there's always some crew going by and in that way, it's a gas. So I think corporate sponsorship is fine. But I don't think people are getting paid to row, which is a not a bad thing. Plus, you get to see all the latest technology in boats. And you get to see the national team go by, it definitely inspires the younger kids. I coach high school kids...
