SWIMMING IN WINE
Not to long ago I had to help a relative with a school assignment. YUK! I hate to be the one to have to do that. It was a big assignment, but the teacher gave them plenty of time to get it done,two weeks. They had to do a family tree, complete with history of the family as far back as the students could go, (of course she didn't expect miracles from 7th graders). But she also wanted pictures, five family reciepes, and five old family storys.
Well my little guy was distraught. He'd never been around any family. I said, "No need to worry I have a family tree" so we ran to my tresure box and dug it out. It was in itself a treasure. It went all the way back to the 1800's and came complete with pictures. Old Old pictures of his great great grandparents and of my uncles. One uncle in his wrestling pose (he had a trunk full of medals and belts he had won in the navy. News clippings, complete with picure of another uncle in an army uniform from WWII, killed just a couple of months before the war ended. And the list goes on. We had a ball putting it all together.
Then it came to the storys , there were so many, all of my uncles were boxers and wrestlers. Do we tell about the uncle who was like "Rocky" from getting to many punches in the head?? Do we tell the one about my Moms brothers always using her for a sparring partner and breaking her nose?? Well we finally decided that a variety of generations would be the best. But we both liked the ones about my grandfather the best, and there was one in perticular that we just couldn't reset . And here it is.--(I have to alter the first part just a little or it will give away the anwser to my previous post).
SWIMMING IN WINE
My family came from Europe. It doesn't really matter which part of europe they come from, this one thing they all seem to have in commen. They all want to own resturants and they all like their wine. My grampa had a resturant but he liked homemade wine. All homes in Chicago have basements and so grampa always had barrels of wine in the basement fermenting. I don't know where he got the barrels but I'm sure he had no trouble getting the grapes smashed since he had twelve kids(I bet they all had purple toes).Unfortunately this was in the days of "Elliot Ness" and prohibition.
Grampa must have made somebody awfully mad, because someone snitched and one night the "Fed's" came to the door pushed there way in and ran to the basement. Grampa was pretty slick, rumor has it that his excuse was something like--I no understand what do bad , I no speak to much english---.
Well with twelve kids standing there they took pitty on him and didn't arrest him, but with hatchets in hands they broke every one of those barrels of wine. And that took some time there were "FOURTY" , yes fourty big barrels of wine, and it flodded the whole basement. Can you imagine?
The teacher loved the old pictures and the storys and he got the 100 point +50 bonus points, which he needed badly in that class.
Boy I'm thristy -- guess what I'm gonna have.

Yeah I'm craving a glass of red right now too! Great story. I would love to hear some of the boxing tales of your relatives. I box so I can relate. I've used my sister as a "sparing partner" before. I didn't punch her in the face or anything, but she did a fair job holding up the gloves for target practice. You just can't hit too hard or she will end up hitting herself in the face. (Hard to explain on here but hopefully you get what I mean.)
That's right I remember now that you wrote in one of your post and you had done some boxing. It's the only sport I liked a lot. Watched it a lot with my Dad.but got away from it, sorry I did. Accidentally found one on HBO one night and I was ecstatic. Can't remember their names because they are all new now but the one I saw was good and now I have the bug. Gonna have to bone up on all the new boxers.
As for my Mom I remember one time when she and my Dad started playing around and he'd try to grab her,she threw those fists up and started prancing around like a pro. Her foot work was great and so were her jabs. Apparently she was to fast and he wasn't a boxer so he ducked below her waist when she threw a punch and tackled her.
Of course we were screaming GO Mom, before the famous tackle.lol
Poor Dad no boys in the family
That's so cool that you like boxing. Not too many women do. My Mom never wanted to watch my fights. It made her nervous and I think it made her a little mad that the other guy was "allowed" to hit me - lol. I guess that is just a mother's instinct to want to protect her kids.
She actually didn't even watch ANY of my fights until my Dad told her how much I was improving and that it's more of the other guy getting hit than me taking a beating. So after alot of convincing she finally started going, but between rounds I could see her half covering her face.
Check out www.hbo.com/boxing
You will like that site. Not sure if you know Paul Spadafora, he is a pro boxer and good friend of mine - sparred with him alot. Unfortunately he got himself in a little trouble so I don't know if he will be in the ring again. His last big fight was against Angel Manfreddy - Paul won a unanimous decision. :)
WOW,
Yes I really love it, but no one I ever lived with in my adult life ever did. So I lost track of it all I didn't realize how much I missed it until I found that fight on HBO. I have to bone back up on it and get back into it. I'll check out the site too!!!!!
I love the "M. Arts" too. I had a young friend teach me a tiny bit. He was a 3 black belt. I've never seen anyone jump so high , and so beautifully, he looked like he was flying. For myself---I am gravity bound the jumping I can not do can't get 2ft off the ground.
OMG,I love that site. Thank you, Thank you! It was a middle weight fight I watched that night. But I like tho's heavy weights tooo. The 26th Morales, Vargas and me. YES!
What a great story!
Hi Ginger, Welcome to my site. How did you find it??
Do you know what mixed martial arts fighting is? Like the UFC? It combines boxing, wrestling and a bunch of different martial arts styles. Two guys enter a caged in pentagon and fight until one submits either verbally or by tap out...or they are knocked out cold. Three 5 minute rounds and if there is not a winner, at the end the judges pick.
It's pretty bloody so if that doesn't bothers you (which I'm guessing it doesn't since you like boxing), then I bet you would love this. I would do it but I don't know any martial arts, but it looks fun as hell to me. Maybe I'm sick in the head to think that. :P
I know what your talking about, but I've never seen any of it except in a movie and it was to the death. I have only watched kick boxing in a ring. But I don't know where to find all that stuff anymore. But if it comes on T.V. I'ed give it a shot and watch a little of it to see if I liked it.lol My guess is I would.
Great story and what a great way to bond and educate him about his roots. Good assignment.
Have you seen the contender? I know it is hollywooded up w/the slo-mos and all but I get IN to this show so much!! If you like boxing, you will love it.
Of course I loved MA too, haven't been training alot lately. I've watched the UFC fights really cool.
Hey exseno, did you get the banana bread rcipe?
To fairygirl,
That's right you've taken"MA" I no nothing compared to you.
To lizzyjane,
Yes I got it can wait to try it!!!
I'm probably back to knowing nothing I'm so out of practice & shape!!
Lizzyjane,
I hope you know I meant I "CAN'T" wait to taste it. I love banana bread.
I can't wait for you to make it either!!!!!*hehe*
