Made it home from Belfast today about 4:00. Great week we had. Met a lot of nice people. Did some interesting things and got woke up by the spooks inside the barns a couple of nights. Spent my birthday at Pollywogg Holler listening to Tommy and the Two Tones, went to Spike Jones' house to do some blacksmithing, helped Jimmy while he was splitting wood, and got everyone set up on the sparring sessions. I'll be posting some pictures and adding more about the events of the last week in the next few days but the guys from Enchanted Mountain Martial Arts Academy warrant special mention.
Scott, the owner of the Bare Knuckle Boxing Hall of Fame, somehow connected with these guys to come up and spar with Jimmy. A bunch of young guys, most with some type of military background it seemed, and I personally am real glad they're on our side. Nice guys, all of them. Extremely polite, very pleasant to talk to and be around, but real tough guys. I don't mean guys that are real tough but guys who are the real deal tough. Physically and mentally tough. The kind of guys who are so tough they are nice because they have nothing to prove to anyone and know themselves well. Master Barry I'm thinking is cut from the same cloth as well. I'm proud to have met all of them and really glad they came out to spar.
Enough for now.
