I never yet touched a fig leaf that didn't turn into a price tag.

So yesterday we went down to check out the chickie babes pleasure craft down on the waterfront. Much to our surprise, we found this Christmas tree perched upon a cray boat. What the crayfish make of the sight as they are pulled from the murky depths to their eventual deaths, I am not sure. Henry and Ezra, on the other hand, enjoyed it very much.

Watch the first Barrera vs Morales fight yesterday, whilst trying to keep Henry quiet (it worked!) By god that's a fight! In particular, Round 5 is right up there with the entire Hagler vs Hearns fight. The entire fight is fantastic, but the ebb and flow of round 5 never fails to get the hairs standing up on the back of my neck (which, I might add, Hagler/Hearns still does). If you haven't seen them already, check out the entire MAB vs EM trilogy (although fight 2 is a bit of a letdown, the other two deserve their legendary status). Also electrifying is the destruction of Roberto Duran at the hands of Hearns. Given the calibre of the guy, the power of Hearns is amazing, and sets up the proper context for the Hagler fight.
