Kevin Van Dam is in town. Went to dinner with my wife and he sat in the booth next to us with his family. He's here for the Bass pro opening.

who is that?

Oh yeah he's that Karate guy right?

And Lir, get your butt down to Santa Cruz on a weekday in April I have a feeling it's going to be a "DC" halibut year.  Me and you going Gaff Practice.

March is almost April. Maybe worth a try pre-season?

Back in the day Ilan Mitchell-Smith (played Wyatt in Weird Science) was a karate student of mine.
Doesn't even come close in comparison to these two guys I ran into one day.

I spotted Scott Fujita at the SJ airport and my wife convinced me to go say hi!

SUPER friendly and awesome guy!!

He was on our plane back to New Orleans, came and chatted with us and took pics during our layover in Dallas, and then gave my Mom a hug (I had texted her and told her he was on flight so she put on her Fujita jersey) and took pics with her and my Dad when we landed...

Turns out he lives in Carmel Valley!!

For those who don't know who he is, here's his bio...besides being one of my family's favorite Saints players, his accomplishments and work off the field are what make him stand out from other NFL players for us.   :smt004

http://www.scottfujita.com/bio/

Quote
Off the playing field, Fujita dedicates a lot of time to his community, as well as a number of charities. He is passionate about the environment, namely the protection and restoration of the Gulf South. He also advocates for equal rights for the LGBT community, promotes programs for adoption, and is an avid proponent for breast cancer awareness, as his mother is a two-time breast cancer survivor. Throughout his career, Fujita has also worked with organizations that work to support, encourage and enrich the lives of children afflicted with cancer and other challenges.

Fujita has served on the NFLPA Executive Committee as a Vice President since 2010. He also sits on the Board of Directors for Team Gleason (www.teamgleason.org), which seeks to improve the lives of patients living with ALS and ultimately find solutions to stop this terrible disease.

On April 22, 2013, Fujita signed a one-day contract with the New Orleans Saints and announced his retirement after 11 seasons in the NFL atop Peru’s Machu Picchu.

Focusing on his transition from NFL linebacker to life beyond the field of play, Scott assembled a team to help with his post-NFL career goals. Utilizing his expertise and leadership from the football field and transitioning it to a versatile post-NFL career, Scott joined forces with the New York Times, Fox Sports, foxsports.com and WDSU’s “Saints on 6” Primetime.  After a year on the broadcast and sports writing circuit, he was hired as a consultant on a feature film and is now Executive Director for the Gleason Project film. In addition to this, he is a Partner at Radd3, Associate Director of Team Gleason and Co-Executive Director for Team Gleason’s Social Action Campaign.

On a personal note, Fujita is the adopted son of Rod and Helen Fujita. His father Rod is a third generation Japanese-American who was born in an internment camp in the Arizona desert during World War II. Fujita grew up celebrating Japanese customs, and has always considered himself to be culturally half-Japanese.

He is married to Jaclyn and has 3 daughters — twins Isabell and Delilah, and Marlowe.

  Yes one is happening soon, heard it on radio this afternoon on way to work. Can't tell you who's on the card though can't remember the names.  I think a belt is on the line though.

Is this about BJM or about you eating at Morton's?  :smt005. Also, I say that if he didnt wanna be noticed, he wouldnt have worn a Bellatir shirt out in public. So did you take a selfie?
