Mark and Peyton share a love for the sport of Boxing. They watch all the major fights together and since Peyton was 5 they have been going to live matches around the valley. So for Christmas I bought tickets to a fight that was being held at Fantasy Springs Casino. The one thing I didn't do was check Mark's work schedule to make sure he's be free. Stupid mistake. We're in high season here and he was busy with a banquet. So, off to the casino I went with Peyton for a date night. I felt like a fish out of water. We had corner seats right where the boxers entered the arena. Thankfully Mark was able met us there after the second match and the hightlight of the night. Out of the curtains came Oscar De La Hoya. As we're standing there face to face, eye to eye, I smile and he smiles back. I ask, will you take a pic with my son. He nods and Peyton wimps out. He got too shy so I was only left with a picture of him alone as he walked away to take pictures with the thousands of other people excited to see him. Maybe next time.
