The Fighting Clelands
Roberto “The Tremor” Cleland is now fighting in a new weight class. He has gone from 152 pounds down to 136 and he hopes to defeat Jersey Joe Parkinson, the challenger, in a fight promoted by Cheap Box Wine productions.
Roberto's trainer, Giuseppe Franzia says that his fighter is working hard to perfect his famous “Tremor Jab” which along with his “Roberto Shuffle” confuses his opponent long enough for Roberto to land his slow motion “Sleeper” punch.
In related boxing news, Roberto's brother, JC “The Radioactive Kid” Cleland has also made a dramatic weight change and has dropped from the heavyweight division to fight as a featherweight. He hopes to hold titles in both weight classes and he feels confident that his opponent, Smokin' Joe Cancer can be beaten. In JC's corner is Sal Franzia, another one of the famous Franzia family of fight trainers. “The Radioactive Kid” is known for his powerful “Atomic Belch” which has been the downfall of many opponents.

Low Tide
A few days ago JC and I decided to get off of our butts and go for a beach walk. There was a minus tide that day and all kinds of tide pool life was exposed on the lava rocks which are usually submerged.
JC took a lot of pictures of the Green and Pink Anemones, Mussels, Goose neck barnacles, sponges, Sea Stars and myriads of other creatures. There was an unusually warm wind blowing and we walked a couple of miles enjoying the scenery and the super fresh air that you only can get on the beach.
We both were sore the next morning but we promised each other we will do it more often.
