Well, now that it's official .Congratulations to the 2016 LTA Four, featuring Dorian ("The Brit") Webber, Zachary Burns, Danielle Hansen, Jacklyn Smith, and BRF's Jenny Sichel!

I may or may not have charged for the door out of the office as soon as the thunderstorm went through. The rainbow wasn't quite as spectacular as I had hoped, but the epic clouds kind of made up for it.

CBC out in (lightly) mixed quads.

Sunset sunburst at Eliot.

No, that's not a tank top. That's just Tobin's uni tan.

From a recent conversation--"Well, you really do kind of live under bridges..."

Josh and Andrew locked on the dirty waters.

My kind of (Thursday) morning in the basin last week.

Sweep women grabbing water on Saturday.

Cool little new park on the corner of Vassar and Main, opposite the Sean Collier Memorial.

Good to see a certain DW back on the Charles.

Kilo was pretty tired... of watching the HPG lift. "Can we go play outside yet?" "How about now?"

Playing with overexposing the image to make the water (mostly) disappear.

Fire in the Cambridge sky, after a DCR meeting about the future of Mt. Auburn St and Fresh Pond Parkway.

Uncle Jefe's butcher shop is open for business. All kinds of USDA Grade A beef available.

Sunrise over Longfellow/MGH a few weeks ago.

Dick out for an afternoon row last week.

Someone left a giant MacBook out by the harbor.

PSA--summer Friday afternoons may NOT be the best time to venture into the basin in the 1x. Just sayin'.

Though apparently, neither are Friday mornings. Apparently the poor people were stuck under the bridge all night. Jeff to the rescue, with an assist from Liane who alerted him to the stragglers.

And they wonder where I get it from... Happy Father's Day, Dad!

Nice of them to put in a picture window by the side of the river.

Sarah arrives escorted by her father (slight family resemblance and a slightly reluctant flower girl.

First kiss

Mr and Mrs Baker!

Vehicular delivery of the entire wedding party was a first. And it was awesome.

Mike couldn't resist crashing the first dance. Mike had actually coached at MIT my senior year. I discovered he had a twin brother when I rolled up to Head of the Connecticut one year and yelled "Hey Mike, how are you?" "Actually, I am Danny, you must be looking for my brother". Also, fun fact, I've raced against both of the at the Hyannis Sprint Triathlon, though not at the same time.

Dan and Sarah laughing about Mike's appearance on the dance floor.

I was convinced to join the MIT staff photo. In retrospect, I probably have spent enough time in an MIT launch this spring to qualify. Thank you, Amanda, for taking the photo.

The boatman photo. Background chosen by Joe Shea.

Oh yes, there was some dancing.

Bridal limo resting under the stars.

We did get Dan on the dance floor a few times.

"We threw a great party. High five!"

Amanda and Mason taking a gangsta break from photographing the wedding.

Meat wagon, meet the jerky train.

Progress being made on the house, windows AND some of the siding is in.

Archival footage of the Big Green racing on the Charles.

Six minutes of sunrise over MIT in one exposure.

New USRowing guidelines require at least one man with beard in an M4- at all times. Either that, or the sport's moved on from speed man buns to rocket beards. Or maybe everyone just wants to be Seth Weil.

Went camping on Sunday. This does bear a certain resemblance to the Camp Q logo...

Apparently, we are a satellite training site for Team NZ. Or at least people that have their unis (someone clarify if you know more).

Eight minutes of clouds swirling over Pierce boathouse and the Boston skyline.

Matt rowing through the powerhouse

Pretty spectacular sunrise this morning, aided by a random alarm going off on Alexis' phone at 4:20 am.
