I traveled to Tennessee with my husband over the weekend, when he was refereeing at the SEC women’s rowing championship. The weather was beautiful, and everything went perfectly. The SEC did a great job of branding the course, which they rented from the Oak Ridge Rowing Association. Their signs and team banners were all over the place; it was very nicely done.

After I took some photos in the morning, when the first race was about to get underway, it occurred to me that I could use one of them as a header for my blog. Although this theme makes changing the header image very easy, I realized that I hadn’t done it in many years. A photo of a championship race at the start seemed just right to give a fresh start to this website.
