Amazing! I had forgotten that Jake LaMotta was still with us.

On a somewhat sadder note, tonight on the news I heard that Joe Frazier was diagnosed with liver cancer five weeks ago and is now receiving hospice care. Doctors have not yet told him how long he has to live.

For someone of my generation, the Ali/Frazier fights pretty much summed up what boxing was all about: Two fine athletes with incredible heart, giving it their all. I am truly saddened to hear the news about Joe Frazier's condition.

"Sure I cook with wine - sometimes I even add it to the food!"

"When life itself seems lunatic, who knows where madness lies?"

"It was a grass harp... And we listened."

"Do any human beings ever realize life while they live it? Every, every minute?"

"No. Saints and poets, maybe... they do some."
