TRADITION

Traditions inspire people with OCD. A Tradition gives you have an amazing plan, do not have to make decisions, and then you have time to prepare, gather, and focus on said subject. Larry has a mild case of OCD. But I suspect it comes from me having so many sentimental traditions.

I was a little girl when I saw that first boxing match with my father. The movement was like a dance and the swoosh sound made me sit up straighter and pay attention. I have been a fan ever since.

Watching the fight, is only part of an evening. We invite a few friends, plan a picnic that we will eat at the coffee table, and then when everything is ready, We wait patiently for Jim Lamply to start (commenting on)the Boxing.

Tonight Pacquiao will fight Hatton. It is a bit expensive (PPV), but well worth the money as it will be a fight to remember. Ricky Hatton is going to win. Yes, I am a Ricky Hatton fan and have been for awhile. He is from Manchester England, and is a small powerhouse. Pacquiao sings karaoke and professes to be an actor.

I have bought, olives, corinshons, pate, salami ,will bake a Gouda cheese in pastry, and have champagne cooling. Gosset champagne is one of my favorites. I discovered it in France last year when I saw the owner talking about the winery on Paris TV. The CEO or owner, is an interesting woman, who's family also owns the Cointreau Liqueur , company. That is what spiked my interest. How did a champagne that is made by liqueur people taste? We bought a bottle the next day, had a picnic. Now I am a fan. Boxing, picnics, champagne and friends. I smile.

If you are near me tonight, come by. 7:00. Love you. Me
