Don't worry Samantha, I am not much of a boxer.  The Rocky movie came out
when I was in high school, and everyone wanted to play that game.  I won
because I was the only six foot featherweight, so I could reach out and
touch someone before he could get inside.  Touch is the appropriate word
because my bony little arm wouldn't do much, but in Golden Gloves you get
the points regardless of how hard you hit the sumbitch.  

I am intriqued by the runaway popularity of chess-boxing in Europe.  People
who have not played both may not realize how similar are the two sports.

But Samantha, if you were to be less pugilistic, we would scarcely recognize
ya.  We would hafta assume you were kidnapped and they were using your email
account to throw us off the trail.  {8^D
