This past month I had to complete some physical exams to get licensed to fight in California. I drove down to a medical office in San Pedro, south of Los Angeles, where I could undergo all the exams- general physical, cardiological, opthamalogical, and neurological- in one location. The athletic commission requires fighters my age to take far more rigorous (and expensive) cardio and neuro exams than they do younger fighters. Ostensibly the commission wants to ensure that the old guys can make it through a fight without having a chest-buster, or are not too punch-addled to compete. The real effect of the policy, however, is that it imposes retirement on the older fighter simply by making the cost of getting licensed too great. In any case, I was able to scrape the necessary money together to pay for the exams, pass them, and get licensed. I want to thank everyone who responded to the recent sale and bought Bohemian shirts. Your support made my paying for the exams possible. Anyway, something interesting happened while I was checking in at the doctor's office.

There are few things more predictable than a washed up fighter mounting a comeback. Well, color me a cliché as I begin training in earnest to compete again. I'm not under any illusion that this is a going to be an easy or altogether pleasant project, but it represents a bit of unfinished business that's haunted me for a while. It's said that inactivity is a sin in fighting and I've been out of action for a long time. I'll try to atone for that transgression in training. As seemingly late in the game as it is, the time is right for me to make a push. I'll finish out my career in the same way I've always approached it.

I'll be in Keaau on Hawaii's Big Island from February 17th-23rd to teach a handful of seminars at Doug and Lora Evans' Demon Athletics Gym. While there I'll also spend some time with participants in the Easter Seals program. Doug and I are friends and teammates from back in the days when we trained at Gladiators Training Academy, along with Eugene Jackson. I've never been to Hawaii, so it's a thrill for me to visit Doug, his family, and work with some of Hawaii's great fighters. I'll also wander about the island and explore, take some photographs of what turns up, and post them here. Lastly, an update on my previous blog entry where I bemoaned the incompetent Florida Athletic Commission's arbitrary
