I always said that when I built a house someday I’d have\u00a0the coolest basement on Earth<\/b>.<\/p>\n
My wife\u00a0Molly<\/b>\u00a0is a fan as well (she’d have to\u00a0 be to live here).<\/p>\n
Back in my\u00a0late teens<\/b>\u00a0and\u00a0early 20’s<\/b>, my\u00a0 love for the\u00a0Rocky<\/b>\u00a0movies led me into the\u00a0boxing ring<\/b>\u00a0as an\u00a0amateur<\/b>. I captured a\u00a0State Title<\/b>\u00a0here in\u00a0Kentucky<\/b>\u00a0before retiring due to a detached retina in my left eye.<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/stallonezone.com\/imgs\/news\/2005\/may\/050105robhoskin_collection5.jpg?resize=500%2C229\")

Again, let me say\u00a0Thank You<\/b>\u00a0for your kind words.<\/p>\n
My dream<\/b>\u00a0now is to get to meet\u00a0THE MAN<\/b>. Who knows,
\nmaybe he’ll see these and make it a reality!<\/p>\n
