Southerners Do Not Row
The back cover of the book humorously warns readers that this book has no redeeming social, political or intellectual value. But if you want to read a "laugh out loud" book about a Southern boomer's attempt to get back into shape, this book is for you. The author, a committed non-aerobic type, realizes after a trip to the doctor that he is going to have to get back into shape in order to control his weight and blood pressure. He choses the sport of rowing- a sport in which his wife excels. The author details his first year of flips, failures, and frustrations with a sport that has a unique set of training and rituals. The book will appeal to all weekend warriors, not just rowers.
