Comments Thread For: On The Move: Another Page in The Traveling Notebook

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

By Lyle Fitzsimmons - For the second time in half a decade, I’m on the move.

After five years and a few months and around the university town of Gainesville, Fla., the nebulous Fitzbitz base of operations will soon be heading to a more permanent bliss along the Gulf-side coast of a perpetually sunshiny state.

And with the aromas of packing tape, cardboard boxes and general upheaval permeating soon-to-be tropical nostrils, I got the urge to look back to the things I blathered around the time the most recent move – from Philadelphia to Florida – was made in 2007.

I’ve always been amazed at how, even in a relatively short period of time, the names and issues that seemed so pertinent back then can transform into today’s ancient history.

For example…

In a column penned for posting on June 1, the day’s hot topic was a conference call masquerade in which a never-boring Yoel Judah pretended to be his son and promised violent mayhem in Zab’s challenge of WBA welterweight belt-holder Miguel Cotto at Madison Square Garden.

Ali Had Watched Foreman "Gasing, in his fight, with Peralta, a talented Boxer, that George could not catch Up with, and Ali knew that Foreman, if he could take George into the latter rounds,
it'd be TIMBER!!!
Bad Water didn't get George, he Punched himself Out, and had stanima Problemos!
It should be noted that Foreman, never got a Rematch....
