I heard on the news today that Randy Savage had died. At first I thought "why does that name sound so familiar" - then it hit me. Randy Savage was THE "Macho-Man"....
Oh -- the memories that came flooding back into my mind. Memories of a much simpler time, a fun time - actually - for our little family when Friday night sleep-overs and Saturdays were filled full of watching "WWF Wrestle-Mania"
When Hulk Hogan was a hero and household name (before he turned to..... the dark side)
When even I was captivated watching Bret "The Sharpshooter" Hart (hey, my Dad told us that even my Mother used to love watch wrestling - alot!) 
When we took the kiddo's (several times) to watch Hulk Hogan battle the "Grave Digger" - LiVe and upclose!

When in 4th Grade while giving reports on hero's in their lives, Marisa gave her report on Davey "Brittish Bulldog" Smith - HA! I wonder if her teacher is over the shock yet! 
Oh yes, when I think of Randy "Macho Man" Savage, I am transported back in time - to a good and happy time of raising children - and how some "fads" come and go but are none-the-less a valueable part of your life. I don't know where the time goes, but it does. Thanks for the memories Randy, may you rest in peace!
