A new phase has come about, where I am not always the newbie novice wrestler in a meeting....Mmmmmmm...... Sounds good, were it not that even the real novices are bigger, stronger and have more stamina than I! Damn. . I continue to tap out with monotonous regularity. Not only to my old adversaries, to whom I am drawn back with all the stupidity of a moth to a flame, but also to newer guys. Friendly and even respectful of the mat, they turn into muscled hunks, impossible to handle, simply by donning a leotard. . So, I have evolved a new strategy........ meet for a coffee and a nice chat, then run! Well, it seems safer and less energetic somehow. And also much cheaper.......no hotel bills, no visits to the doctor, no ripped off clothing.The amazing guys I have met socially are all really great company but, unfortunately, formidable opponents. Much better to meet across the tablecloth than across the mat! . I have enjoyed great conversation. In the Springtime sunshine, where the only crumpet was on a plate. Or how about Muffins, in a bowling ally, where my recital of aches pains and ignomineous defeats was drowned out by the buzz of teenage musak. Or with a nice Earl Grey in a canal side pub, much to the landlord's disgust. (No Grunters, Earl is not a wrestler). . So....stuff the wrestling..Anyone for a coffee??! lol
