It's been a while since I was in the ring, and so it's also been a while since I've written any Ring Notes. It was pretty difficult to keep up any kind of fitness routine on the road with The Walkmen , and I was nervous that I'd lost everything in my two weeks of travel. Wandering New Orleans I found my muse again, and, in one of life's seemingly unavoidable trade-offs, lost the bod. But Sunday I played in two soccer games. Monday I worked out on my own at the gym, even throwing in four sets of bench press, which I loathe. And Tuesday, for the first time in three weeks, I was back in the ring with Ray, hoping to pick up where we left off.
