It is said that rowing is one of the best overall exercises person can do

Yep. I am not naturally gifted in endurance sports so it all hurt pretty badly.
Legend had it that it is possible to push oneself too hard and increase risk of dying early of a heart attack. Someone told us that it happened a lot to Japanese rowers. We all shrugged it off. Then the guy who pushed himself hardest on the whole team, part of my own freshman class, who ended up on the USA national team, died at 38, of a heart attack. I wrote a post about him at the old board.

I was on the rowing team my freshman year and took an east coast trip to compete against Navy at Annapolis, and also had a race at Syracuse.

There was a lot of that on the team. Rich kids from east coast private high schools with rowing teams. But I was a second class rower who'd never picked up an oar until I got recruited for the team out of the freshman orientation lines. They were looking for extraordinarily good looking people.

And in a list of the 100 best pizzas, only two are in Chicago?
I see some selection bias there.
and none are in Italy.
I've had pizza in Northern Italy. It was like a different food, and in a good way.

Yep. Calling American pizza “pizza” is a textbook example of cultural appropriation.

I don't care much for either east coast or Chicago pizza. Neapolitan and Detroit (Sicilian) style for me.

Most ot the pizzas we've been eating as of late are frozen California Pizaa Kitchen BBQ Chicken. We miss the real deal.

These are far better than the old grocery store type mixes. Get some sauce, cheese, and any other toppings ready. Your kitchen just became your neighborhood pizza joint.
I just had a box of various King Arthur mixes sent to my kiddo. Since we took my old Kitchen-Aid mixer to her in June, she's much more comfortable doing this kind of thing now. She thought the shipment would only have things like mixes for scones, brownies, and gingerbread. The pizza crust mixes were not expected, and she's pretty stoked to use them.
Mom's still got a few tricks up her sleeve to surprise the kiddo.
