Dasvedana Bebbe

Went into Brooklyn to see the Dorinson's yesterday. They are my cousins on my mom's side. They have always been Aunt Eileen and Uncle Joe to me, and I literally grew up w/ their kids. Joe was the guy who got me into history, as he is a history professor (the chair actually) at Long Island University, anyway, they are cool peeps.

So the reason Vick and I trucked into the Ocean Parkway area was because Joe got us tickets for boxing in the Russian Jewish Enclave of Brighton Beach! It was this old theatre, that was totally geared toward the Russian denizens of the neighborhood. Eitherway, all the signs and promotions were in Russian! Wild you heard SOOOOO much Russian and Yiddish being spoken.

We were there for all the fights, but especially the main event Dimitri Salita. He is this Orthodox Jewish Fighter from Crooklyn by way of Odessa. He brough 1,200 of his mespuchah into the theatre... He even came out to a Klezmer band. Go figure. He won his fight, and it will be an adventure to see where his career goes. Technically he is sound.

There were these 2 big Irish heavyweight brothers who fought (not each other!) who had NO talent whatsoever. One them got knocked out by a portly Puerto Rican called "the bodyguard".... He showed of worked on his El Cuerpo!! HA HA

After the fights we drove my cousin Rob (who is a few years younger than I) back into the city and had a good laugh about being wild and crazy kids!

If I hear the word "bounce" in relation to how John Kerry is doing one more time, I'm gonna scream!

Today we took the dogs to this dog run we found in the Paulus Hook area of JC. Lulu was the Queen of the dog run, and Freddie was its' king! They are STILL exhausted from all the pigeon chasing, leaf running and wrestling they did!
