So here it is, over a month plus since I've last posted. I bet you think I'd forgotten about you guys. Well, even though I have a horrible cold this weekend, I have forced myself up off the couch to update you on my life and existence in general.
I must cut right to the chase and say that the big news for Vick and I is that we are expecting! That's right, last Wednesday, I was awoken by Vicki holding a positive test going "look at this good news"!! We had our first OB visit the other day as well. All indicators point to this being totally healthy pregnancy, thank god for that .. :) it totally puts a smile on my face. We're both over joyed at the prospect of being parents!
We were also up in Toronto a few weeks ago for Adam Cohen's wedding. It was nice.. Not as nice as finding out you are gonna be a father, but nice nonetheless!
Now, if I could only post more often...

Punk Ass Beeyotch
Hello there readers of the blog here,
I have been travelling around, making ol' Jack Keruoac look like an agoraphobic. I was in California , in San Diego visiting my ailing Uncle Elliot. It was an emotional visit. I'm so glad I got to see him when I did. My thoughts are of course, with him. It's just a sad, sad story there, and better off expressed at a later point. Just suffice to say the the great writers of Tragedy of our times could not write a more sad story.
Vick and I were also in Florida visiting Dad. We had a good time. Got sunburned, read a bunch of books by the pool, did some swimming and went to the beach. Dad and I did not argue at all, so yay Dad :-) In all seriousness it was a great visit, and I wish we lived closer.. And, that we could move Avenue A to Melbourne!
The post title refers to my former favorite fighter, Kostya Tszyu . He fought a major fight against Ricky "The Hitman" Hatton this past weekend. He took his title, and fought in Ricky's hometown of Manchester, England. Yeah there were 22,ooo screaming Brits there. However The champ, Kostya, quit on his stool between the 11th and 12th rounds . Again, I'm not the fighter, but I truly believe a champ does not quit, he goes out on his shield.
I mean, it's easy for me, but I've dug this guy from since 1996. He's been a great fighter, a real classy act. Champs do not give up.... They should get KO'd. Let him lose his title on his back. Not giving up and throwing in the towel. I mean, love him , or not but Fernando Vargas has lost two fights (to Felix "Tito" Trinidad, and Oscar Delahoya) and both times he got KTFO (Knocked the Fu8k out!) .... He knows about being a warrior. Even though he is a dick.
Kostya, I love ya man, but you're not a warrior anymore. You're a nice guy . Marvin Hagler once said "It's hard to get up and train for a fight when you went to bed the night before in silk pajamas". Enjoy retirement, my man. I will always remember the good fights you had.
Perhaps he was jinxed because that lame ass Russell Crowe was in the audience!? Wouldn't it be funny if that guy "Crow" From MST3K was the lead in "Cinderella Man" ?!?!? Or, even better , the antiquated "Jim Crow Laws"?!?!? HA HA HA HA HA HA . Funny.
Aside from that , Vicki and I are cautiously beginning a physical fitness regime. We bought one of them big blue exercise balls you see at your popular workout places for crunches, and the like. Soon enough, if I play my cards right, exotic male dancer/prostitute may be my calling , if procurement does not play out! LOL . Hey, don't dream it, be it.

Sweet Baby Jesus
It's been a long time since I last posted. So sorry about the delay, I'm working on posting a couple times this week, honest injun I am. It's been a very busy, as well as a very reflective time in the House O'Sincoff the past month. As I'm sure y'all realize it's been a year exactly since Samuel passed away. To think that 365 days have passed since our beautiful baby boy left us really makes you wonder where all the time has gone.
So not only have we been reflecting on that a whole lot, but Vicki and I are actively trying to have another baby. So far all of the unprotected loving has ROCKED !! WAHOO :) No conception yet, but I shall keep you posted dear reader, as Vick and I dance the coital tango all the way to Baby Avenue :) In all seriousness, we found out that future babies will most probably NOT have the same neurological, and renal issues that Sammy had. We are very relieved that we can proceed w/o worrying about future generations of Sincoff's having the same illness that Sam had.
Also, just found out that a dear family relative of ours, my Uncle Elliot, is very ill in California. I'm flying out to San Diego next week to spend some time w/ him... Hopefully I can be of some emotional support, we shall see, won't we? Aside from the very sad reasons of my trip out there (I mean, no one should be sick, should they?) I am looking forward to chilling w/ Elliot. Despite him being a right wing Republican, he's a great guy!!
I also was fitted for a tuxedo last week at a major MEN'S clothing store chain... (this was for Ed and Rachel's wedding) , the obese man who fitted me.... kept on saying questionable sentences like; "you have a real wrestler's body", and "you've got a nice football players neck"..... it was very disturbing! I kept on looking over at Vicki, who was shoving her fist in her mouth to keep from laughing!
I also got back in touch w/ my old college budy Mary F. ! Mary and I used to get up to all sorts of hijinx together (of course non romantic hijinx!) and she was a great friend. We had not talked in like 8 years or so..... I don't remember our last conversation, or why we drifted out of touch.... but it's so great to pick up where we left our friendship off! I truly have missed her as a pal !
Vicki and I had an awesome time at the terribly lame "Hoboken Arts and Music Festival" yesterday. The vendors looked to be the same ones they have every year.... "fried dough".... "paintings"... "lemonade"... etc but we did buy some canine cannoli's for Fred and Lulu!
Now, if only the network here at work would come back on, I can get some work done!

End of week blues
You ever get the vibe where the work day is just dragging, and dragging and DRAGGING??? It seems like time is going in reverse here at the ol' Chocolate Factory today. Not that it is a bad thing or anyting. I'm just sayin' that 5pm can not come here more quickly for my tastes (as cultured as those tastes are!)
First off, as my last posting states, if you have not seen the Pacquiao vs. Morales fight .... check it out. Buy it from a tape trader, watch it on HBO , whatever. If you want to see what makes boxing so passionate... so exciting, so wonderful, please do yourself a favor and check it out. Winning or losing, both are warriors in my book.
Crazy couple of days w/ the whole Terry Schiavo deal. I'm gonna try to keep my mistrust of organized religion out of here for the time being. Let me just say that it should have been a very private family matter, not one decided by the Senate, or our vacationing President. Shame on them for exploiting grief. Having been someone who has had to say "no more procedures" regarding a dying loved one... I know the whirlwind of emotions there.... shame on the Religious Right. . Period . Jeb Bush is lame, btw.
Also, we have Pope John Paul II moving on to that high rise Vatican City loft in the sky. I remember Pope John I who died after like 30 days "on the job"... I was in 2nd grade when that happened. Crazy.
Looking forward to a very relaxing weekend! Susannah is in Oklahoma (seriously, and hey she's talking to me again) , and Kirk is in Beantown.. so it is a total Ethan and Vicki weekend!
Watch out , we're hanging w/ the Shingletons tonight!!
