For a year, I’ve been taking private kickboxing lessons with a group of middle-aged people who all admit to being out-of-shape. Recently our private lessons ended and we had to try the regularly scheduled classes at LA Boxing. I was apprehensive. While wrapping up my hands before my first class, I heard one young woman say [...] Friends came up to me at a picnic and immediately asked about the motorcycle rally I attended. I blurted out a short description which had them laughing, “I didn’t need the Lane Bryant coupon and I’m not a lesbian.” “That’s not what you said on Facebook, but I have a much better picture now.” “Yeah,” I responded, [...] Recently a friend was contacted by an old business associate.
