I doubt that grey drizzly January mornings three weeks after Christmas are anyone's favourite time of year, but I was quietly happy strolling around the graveyard this morning . Armed with a resistance band & some hope that old injuries will eventually heal I thought about Udezumou 2 weeks ago & the Irish Open in a fortnight.  I've done some boring admin stuff this week, but other than that armwrestling seems a long way away.

STEELARM FIGHT 2: Reffing at Hightower's gym for supermatches. Spalding Steelarms are always interesting to catch up with. 

ARMGODS WINTERBLAST/INDEPENDENCE CUP - Oto Fogelmanis' promo was the funniest thing on a trip full of humour & excitement. I also offered a 100 dollar bet that Mindaugus Dulskas would win his match to Allen Ford, Ryan Grondin, Jody Williams, Bob Brown & RVJ. None of them would back their man against our champ. Sweet. I'll never let them forget it. 

SCURTU VIOREL - I rarely miss people, I always have too much to do, but Viorel departing the UK is a loss. We often…
