Happy Boxing Day!
For those of you who aren't yet convinced that July 31 is the best day for celebrating Christmas in the summer, consider how appropriate it is to then celebrate Boxing Day on Aug. 1.
For instance, tonight there's some serious-business boxing going on at the Agua Caliente Casino Resort Spa in Rancho Mirage. Don King is even in the house. Anyway, we're covering all the ins and outs with a live boxing blog on mydesert.com.
Plus, Spike is airing most if not all of the Rocky movies tonight. (Rocky III, which I hear is the one with Mr. T in it, just started out here on the West Coast.)
And to top it all off, when I opened my front door to depart for work this afternoon, I discovered a box containing what could be considered my Christmas in July present to myself — a bunch of DVDs I ordered off of Amazon.com a few days ago.
