No Coffee?

Randy, did you throw away the Mr. Coffee maker?
Maybe it can make a comeback, be a hero?
I bet a cup of coffee would taste real good right now?
I'm going to shake hands with my Mr. Coffee in a couple of minutes.

Yes, I threw it away. It was on it's last leg so I dumped it.

I just went through every inch of the kitchen, wash room and living room, taking into account that it may have rolled into some corner. I'm baffled. We're on our way to get another one. Another one of life's many little mysteries.

Randy, as soon as you get home with the new pot, what you are looking for will show up.
It seems to always happen that way.

MyBoxingFans was on hand when John Molina Jr. was signing a contract with new trainer in Whittier, CA. Molina has parted ways from his long time trainer, Joe Goosen. Goosen is best known for working with Diego Corrales among other great fighters. John Molina Jr. has join forces with Mario Morales and his brother. Morales is known for training the KO Artist Edwin Valero who committed suicide earlier this year.

“I am very grateful and it was great experience for my career to work with Joe Goosen,” stated Molina Jr. “I am very excited for 2011 and my new trainers.”

Molina’s next fight will be on January 28, 2011 at the Pechanga Spa & Casino as part of the undercard for Chris Areola.

Happy New Year to y'all. May 2011 be a great year for all....

Back at you, Frank.
And a Happy New Year to all!

Only Partially "Live" . . .

Tonight while America watches ABC-TV's "Dick Clark's Rockin' New Year's Eve", they'll watch the ball drop in Times Square at the strike of midnight. Of course, we on the West Coast won't celebrate until three hours after New York, due to the time zone. Thruout the various time zones, after they watch the ball drop, ABC will usually broadcast a party type concert that features some top musical act. People assume that the party is taking place "live" or at least within a three hour time zone difference. The truth is, the party/music part of the show is filmed weeks earlier, in November, and it is filmed right down the street from me at the CBS Studio Center in Studio City. What appears to be a real New Year's Eve party is staged well in advance, edited, reviewed and then broadcast on New Year's Eve, in sync with the actual event. I learned this several years back, when a lighting board operator I was working with left our show for a couple days to work on the New Year's Eve special.

We just got in a few minutes ago with the new coffee pot. We drove to the Orange Circle in Old Town Orange. Two blocks of antique stores and restaurants, plus and Army/Navy surplus store. That's where we got the coffee pot. We walked around for a while but all the stores were closing early due to New Years Eve. We stopped to see a movie "Gulliver's Travels" with Jack Black, It was in 3D. It wasn't a bad movie but the only reason we saw it was because it was the only one that was starting when we showed up. We stopped and got some Chinese take out before we got home. Good stuff. Too late for coffee now.

The same to you and your family Frank.

I just ran across this movie still from Rocky (1976). You can see me directly behind Burgess Meredith wearing the white trunks and headgear. Monroe Brooks is in the ring with me. you can just make out his red trunks and leg just in front of Meredith. That's actor Stan Shaw in the other ring standing between Stallone and Meredith. Mando Ramos is also in that ring but he's out of camera range.

I'm the same way Paulie, I don't like crowds anymore either. There is no way I could go to the Rose Parade, spend the night and deal with thousands of people on new years, no way, no how. The older I get the more I like staying home.

After New Year's Day . . .

It's about 8:45pm at the moment. Monica is watching TV, I'll watch with her for awhile. By 10pm I'll be in bed asleep.
That's a perfect New Years Eve for me.
I'll wake up in my bed tomorrow, not in jail. I won't have a hangover, and after an early morning hike, Monica and I will see a movie or something.
I don't like parades, any parade, even The Rose Parade. I consider them about as much fun as a root canal.
The only thing that made the Rose Parade tolerable to me was the fact that I knew that it would be followed by The Rose Bowl.
Today, even the classic Rose Bowl has lost it's interest to me. I used to love the old days, when it was usually USC vs. Ohio State or Michigan on January 1st. No Mas!
I have to say that I'm looking forward to this coming year. Something good is on the horizon. I don't know what it is, but I just have that feeling.
On Monday, I'll return to work on the feature that I'm working on, and I'm grateful that it will be a long run, with other projects to follow.
Although it's months away, I'm already starting to get excited about this year's CBHOF banquet, where many of us well reunite.
This is the best West Coast boxing event of it's kind. I talk regularly with Don Fraser, who often tells me how Frank has taken a big load off his shoulders, lot's of little details that require a lot more effort than one might think .
This year the CBHOF will honor the legendary Fritzie Zivic, and our Brian Higgins will fly in from Chicago accept the award. Randy & Jeri will be there, as well as Ed Hernandez, Remy and his wife are coming all the way from Norway, Tom & Linda from the Mid West, Roger & Maria from San Diego, hopefully Dan & Pops will make it (?), Chuck Johnston will surely be there, maybe Paul will come in from Vegas, and Bruce from up north. In a perfect world Bennie & his lady would win the Irish Sweepstakes and fly out here special for the event in his new Lear Jet .
Today I don't care what happens on January 1st, but I look forward to what the rest of the year will bring.
Hope we can all get together on June 25th.

That's a Classic photo Randy.
"Rocky" . . . Stallone, Meredith, Ramos, Brooks & De LA O.
Movies don't get much bigger than Rocky was, and is.
You were really a part of something big on this day

I love the scene when Meredith barks at Stallone that he could have been good if he had knuckled down.

Its going to be 4:00 AM on Jan. 1, 2011 and I'm having my first cup of coffee of the new year

Watching the old TV western "Wagon Train" starring Ward Bond on the Western Channel.
