Part 9

By the time the NCAA Bowl season started we were all burnt out, everyone looked older than they did when the season started including me and my cousin who were not use to these type of hours.

I knew after the Super Bowl we were able to take a little break to regroup and get a second wind for March Madness and the NBA Playoffs which was a common thing in the Sports Service Industry..

 It was a few days before the Super Bowl (Chargers/SF) that I got the call from the East Coast that my mothers husband died from a heart attack. I never got along with the guy, actually no one did but his buddies at the bar, which was his home away from home. It was over 4 years since I last seen my mother so I thought the timing was right to pay her a visit and heal some old wounds.

 Three days after The 49ers destroyed the Chargers I arrived in Newark Airport and was headed to Bethlehem Pa, the place my mother had been living for several years since she left North Bergen NJ.

It was really great to see my mom and spend time with her but I had less than 2 weeks to spare as I booked a open ticket and needed to get back to California to resume my role as a news writer for Jack Price. Since I am a gym rat I grabbed a 1 week membership at World's Gym on Airport Road around the corner from where my mom lived, little did I know that working out at that gym would change the course of my life and career which still amazes me all these years later. They say in life its not what you know its who you know that matters and I agree 100% as meeting Mickey "The Mob" would hold true for me... Not only did Mickey introduce me to one of the pioneer's of the offshore betting industry, he also introduced me to my wife Jamie... Both would change my life and lead me to where I am today...

Look for part 10 soon..
