&#8220;Eighty percent of success is showing up.&#8221;
- Woody Allen
When I think of Sunday mornings, eggs, hash browns and coffee (18% cream and two spoons of sugar) come to mind. If it&#8217;s too cold outside, or a winter storm pulverized the city the night before,  all day, guiltless web surfing will suffice. Since January [...]]]></description>

&#8220;I&#8217;d never hit a woman, but I&#8217;d shake the $!*# outta one&#8221;

After boxing, the wife and I jumped into our automobile and headed for St. Jacobs. We saw road apples and Old Order Mennonites zipping around on their buggies. Unfortunately, the closest we came to speaking with an &#8220;Old Order&#8221; Mennonite was a salesperson in a Levi&#8217;s outlet. I guess you can say she &#8220;fell off [...]]]></description>

Guest blog entry by Dana Plato
&#8220;Chomedyboy&#8221; has written, so far, about how learning to box at 39 is a liberating struggle for a former bully&#8217;s target. As Joe Jackson used to sing, &#8220;It&#8217;s Different For Girls.&#8221; Girls don&#8217;t bully in the same way (or at least, they didn&#8217;t when was a kid). Just watch [...]]]></description>
