Boxing and B-Listers

Last week I was able to enjoy a 3 whole days of downtime! (hence the gap in the blog) the first day off was fantastic, I was able to take in a couple movies, catch up on errands, get back in the gym and just enjoy civilian life. However, after the 3rd day without a phone call, I was starting to wonder if perhaps the initial wave of jobs I booked, was maybe just a fluke...and was starting to get a little anxious.

Alas, the free time was there for the taking, and I was going to take advantage of every minute of it, so when Sherri and I were not spending time together, I was living in the gym burning off all the Craft Services from last week.

I belong to this boxing gym out here called Fortune Gym. Justin Fortune is the owner, who also trains me on the side, I won't bore you with the details...just know, the guy went toe to toe with Lennox Lewis in a championship fight. Anyway, there is a point to this story...I was in there on Wednesday, and in walks Danny Partridge (aka - Danny Bonaduce) to film some sort of segment for his syndicated radio show he has. Apparently, the guy likes to fight now (alot)??

Okay, okay...so that was Wednesday. Let's fast forward to Thursday, I am in there hitting the heavy bag, and on the bag next to me was Bayside High's favorite transfer student, Mr. AC Slater (Mario Lopez). Apparently, he has some more "preppie" beatdowns to give.

So, while I respect the gym quite a bit, as it is known for steering far clear of "Hollywood types" and white collar boxing, I just had to laugh when back to back days in there...felt more like a night watching TV Land, and just had to share with you. I'll keep ya posted on any Tony Danza sightings as they happen. "Ay-Yo, Yo-Ay!"
