i am heading to haskell this saturday evening for night of boxing. they have a club that is putting on boxing  at the old gym. dont have much info on it. i imagine they will have some indians boxing. they gotta be good. should be should good entertainment for 5 bucks. i am suppose to meet my sister and nephew before it starts to eat. we probably will sit together.

years ago indians were really into boxing. you could find an all indian club in many parts of the country. i boxed in a few.  one of my regrets in life is i will never know how good i could have been. my speed was unbelieveable. i could land several punches to my opponents one. we went into a state prison to box once. i went a whole round without the other guy landing one punch on me. i just toyed with him after that. i had a coach that said we would go pro.  my drinking ended that dream. i was so fast i felt i didnt need to train and all that. i can see how stupid that was years later.

i went to a few boxing exhibitions at our casino. i enjoyed the fights. it seemed that lotsa people did. then we didnt have boxing over there anymore. we must have someone working there that likes to stop things that people enjoy. the reason is measured in dollars. gotta save money so we can waste it on other things.

got a road trip coming up. cancelled my train trip, taking a car instead. heading to the gathering of nations. it is the biggest pow wow in the country.got more indians there than a sale at walmart. i bought my ticket online. i am only going one day. i like pow wows but i am not a fanatic about it. it is so crowded. someone finally had some sense about the seating. you cant save seats by putting blankets them like some  do. after paying $18 you cant find a seat and see whole rows with no one sitting there.

i want to go to that big flea market they have. i go to it every time i am in town. i can usually find something i cant live without. if i am lucky they will be selling fresh oven baked bread. then i want to soak in the hot springs on the way at least once on this trip. it is good for the arthritis, and now bursitis. sadly it is only temporary relief, but any relief is good.

i will miss our earth day on the rez cuz i will be on the road. they have a walk every year. i walk every chance i get though. and they give away trees or shrubs to plant. i still have some growing in my yard that i got from there.

might not be planting anything soon. someone on t.v. said to wait til maybe the first of may. it is still possible to have a freeze this month. i dont remember it being this cool this late into the season. i went mushroom hunting, found none but felt it wouldnt hurt. it is still early. when i was walking thru the fields and timber i seen that the ground is saturated. the water is still standing in some places.

seen in the paper yesterday that the royals were in first place. no it wasnt a typo. i want to go to a game this year. the tickets are so high though, even the cheap seats went up. gotta see that guy named coco crisp. dont know if he is any good, but he got a name you can remember.
