Some days just don't work out how you plan them. For example, today, I was supposed to begin my training to become a legendary boxer. I thought there were two sessions this morning. Because champions are lazy, I chose to attend the later class. Unfortunately, the later class did not exist. Instead I took a look around the gym.
I'm not quite sure what I was expecting. When they say boxing gym, they mean it. The first floor was full of weights and things, and looked like a typical gym. Everyone in it was sculpted like Apollo Creed, but other than that, it was a typical gym. The second floor however was a horse of a different color. There were a few rings, some mats, punching bags, and the like. I did not however, expect to find any women boxing. Woman is generous; this chick had an adam's apple the size of my balls. She started yelling at me about something but my Spanish leaves me when I fear that I'm in danger of getting beat up by a girl. In other words, the boxing gym intimidated the hell out of me.
At the end of my day, I was supposed to join a Spanish club where I would be paired with a Spaniard who wants to learn English. Once a week we would meet and help each other learn our respective languages. Unfortunately, there were 50 Americans and only 10 Spaniards. I guess I'll try again tomorrow. Some days just fail.

Disappointing, but at least no one was looking to punch you in the face. Oops, maybe no one but the Spanish 'lady.'
ReplyDeleteAndrew--Just wanted to let you know how much I've enjoyed reading your blog. Your writing is terrific and (of course) I'm really enjoying hearing all of the things you are doing and seeing the photos.
