I’ll be at my annual June sabbatical for the next week, but in the meantime, here are some fine depictions of the Summer Kick off Circle.

Thanks to OLG for the catering and to BMF for those new “memes”.

After song 30 we had an ablution.  Song 31 was the exit music:

Pretty nice, right?

Consider attending our July 4th/Summer Wrap event, this year on July 3rd

May All Attain!

2 circles then a listening party cookout with a 3rd:

… Sir Christopher Lee returned to glory.  Late last week “The Greatest”, “The Champ”, Muhammad Ali also returned to glory. Here is an interesting story I never knew about either:

Sir Christopher Lee on Muhammad Ali

“Is it true Muhammad Ali once dedicated a fight to you?

It is. I was promoting a film in Cleveland in 1975 and this PR man said, “Muhammad Ali is in town promoting a title fight [the Thrilla In Manila clash with Joe Frazier]. He’s a big fan and would love to meet you.” We went to this hotel, we had a long chat and I promised to watch the fight back in LA.

I actually went to [Playboy founder] Hugh Hefner’s mansion to watch it, along with a bunch of celebrities and a few boxers. At the end of the fight – which Ali won – this reporter shoved a mike under Ali’s face… “Do you have anything to say to your fans?” Ali says, “Yes. I just want to say that I won this fight for Christopher Lee, who’s out there watching me now.” I couldn’t believe it, because that’s a million dollars’ worth of publicity.

And when the lights came up, people were looking at me, stunned. And this black boxer said, “How did you do that?” I said, “Magic. Black magic.” Thank God he laughed!”
