"Light" is found in the eye, Light is what counts



The show "resurrecting the Champ" has Alan Alda in it. Now the fact is that is a small point in this movie since it is not really about him. It is about a newspaper reporter who does an article on a street guy who used to be a fighter/boxer. I actually liked the show since most shows about boxers I like. Seems like in some ways it is a fight just getting through the week sometimes. Then the point of this show might have been that people have value. Back to Allan A. it is just interesting how many roles he seems to have been in. We saw this show today. Mike and I. Fine show. Then again old fighters seem to be sort of worn out. I have to say that being an old fighter is worth being if in fact you can remember having been in the game. Some of these blogs may lack for redeeming value. Then again if I could find some deeper significance to report and perhaps ponder as I was reporting it I would. Back to the guy on the right. In the movie he thought the guy on the left ought to look at his assignments a little deeper. One day watching a fight the reporter was told by his friend how to read a fighter. He predicted a weaker fighter who was seeming to lose and predicted he would win. The guy won. The key was that the experienced fighter offering the advice and prediction say in the guy who was seeming to lose a sparkle in his eye. He knew that he had figured the other guy out. He knew that he too had noticed that the other guy always turned his head one way before firing off a left hook. He knew that if you knew that then a natural opening for an opponent was clear and you could smack the guy and win. The gleam in the eye is the giveaway. The gleam you see in ones eye is the heart reflecting light. By the way that is my version. It takes a lot of heart to win.
