Well- I'm back, and I bring with me a gold medal for (of all things) the ear weight.  I was able to carry 16 pounds suspended from my ear over 20 feet before it dropped off.  I didn't even tear my ear (my biggest concern).  I was thrilled to win anything, as the whole thing did not go as I'd planned.  In the first place- they did not allow me to do the 4 man carry as I did in 2000.  They told me that if I wanted to do a MAN'S contest, I'd have to compete against the men with the same weight.  It would have been over 600 pounds.  I really thought about it, but intelligence won over pride.  I value my spine too much.  I could barely do the 450 pounds. 
As to the other one that I thought I'd place in, the knuckle hop, I was disqualifed for bouncing too much.  If you watch the film, you'll notice that I don't bounce as high as most of the others, but- whatever.  Politics are everywhere, I guess.  It'll make for a good movie.  I can't wait 'til Liz edits it and we submit it to some festivals.  I will be thrilled if we make it to the theaters some day!
As to my next venture?  I got a call about a possible fight in Reno, Nevada on November 8th.  It's supposed to be on Showtime.  We'll see.  It's 3 five minute rounds.  Five minutes is a long ass round!  I'm confident, though.  I can't wait to get in the ring again!
Well- I gotta run (seriously!).  I'll keep you updated!
