Cinco de Mayweather: Preview to the Previews
Ha llegado el Cinco de Mayo, an annual holiday that for me means a hard morning workout followed by diet-destroying gluttony at places like La Mexicana or Tacos el Asador. Days like this I treat the menu like Williams treated the escorts in Enter the Dragon. Waitress: Sir, would you like the pulled pork soft tacos … Read more
Glen Johnson and My Stringer & Avon Moment
Fans of The Wire will remember the scene toward the end of season three, when Avon Barksdale and Stringer Bell take a brief break from plotting each other’s downfall to meet on a rooftoop and talk about the old days while gazing out over Baltimore’s Inner Harbor. When Stringer laments the real estate deals he … Read more
Melissa Hernandez: One on One With a World Champ
Boxing isn’t dead. It’s shacking up with MMA and Krav Maga and living quite comfortably in south Florida, where pro fighters from around the world train for big fights in multipurpose gyms from Fort Lauderdale to Kendall. How do I know? Because, contrary to what I told you guys in my last post, I couldn’t … Read more
Doesn’t that look like sex? A goodbye post
No, not for good — but you can consider this my pre-emptive out-of-office autoreply. Tuesday morning I fly to Miami for a few days of warm weather and beaches and food trucks and salsa. Plans include catching up with old and new friends, watching the O’Jays at the Seminole Hard Rock Casino, and possibly seeing … Read more
Quick Update: Mi Voz Latina
First of all, happy Martin Luther King Day. I’m in Canada but I treat it as a holiday, which means I’ll be relaxing with family, reflecting on Dr. King’s life and legacy and working on meaningful projects not related to the day job. But because it’s not a holiday north of the border, the hustle … Read more

Not dead or Woodshedding — Just Fighting the Flu
Just a quick update for my small but loyal band of readers: I emerged on the other side of my Venezuelan Beisbol opus set to update this space three times weekly, and had lined up several ideas to tackle this week and this weekend. Then this flu bug stepped in and treated me like Juan … Read more
Told y’all I’m not dead: Venezuela to the Woodshed
Just a quick note to thank you all for you patience, with a special shout out to those of you who missed me enough to ask where the hell I’ve been for the last seven weeks. As I pointed out before my hiatus, I’m not dead — but I did spend a few weeks buried under … Read more
I’m not dead. I’m just woodshedding
I recognize three weeks is a long time to keep you guys waiting for a fresh entry, but I assure you I’m not neglecting the small but dedicated audience I’ve managed to build here over the last year and a half. But instead of extending the wait for blog updates indefinitely I figured I’d bang … Read more
The P stands for: Publishing, Pugilism, Popular this week
A disappearing act? Nope. I haven’t vanished these last couple of weeks — you just had to know where to find me. And usually that’s Laptopistan, where I peck away at projects both short and long-term, putting in eight-hour work days even during my week of “vacation.” Not that I’m complaining. Doing what I do … Read more
