In the midst of the standard, dreary midlife crisis -- complete with wine-tasting courses, yoga classes, and a failed attempt at a first novel -- forty-year-old Barry Strauss falls unexpectedly and passionately in love with rowing, a sport in which a twenty-seven-year-old is a has-been.Strauss, a professor of classics and history, writes about the unanticipated delights of an affair that, like so many others, begins as a casual dalliance and develops into a full-blown obsession. Drawn to the sport in part because of his affinity for Greek antiquity, he develops a love for old boathouses, a longing for rivers at dawn, a thirst to test himself, and, ultimately, a renewed sense of self-reliance -- as someone who had experienced sports humiliation as far back as Little League suddenly finds himself bursting into athleticism at an unlikely age.
From the awe-inspiring feats of the war-bound Greek triremes with their crews of 172 men rowing on three levels to the solitary pride of finishing a first race in which he gets stuck in the weeds and has to be fished out, Barry Strauss shows us why there is nothing -- absolutely nothing -- half as much worth doing as simply messing about in boats.

Great fit
Flavor Name: Peanut Butter, Size: X-Large
My dog has a very powerful jaw. Only a few things that he cannot destroy.
We have had the peanut butter flavor that still looks the same that it did a year and a half ago. It is his version of a binky. He may leave it alone for days or weeks but every so often he needs to have his teeth and gums itched.
Very few remnants of the bone left around.
