Weekly Random Thoughts on the Carolina Panthers
Training camp starts Friday!If you have a chance, take your kid to training camp. It's the closest you'll ever get to NFL players. When I was a kid, we lived near where the Redskins had their camp. I got to talk to and get autographs from Theismann, Riggins, Moseley, and others. Even though I wasn't a Redskins fan, I thought it was the greatest thing ever at that point in my life. Your kids will too.
Rock Of Love
Rock Of Love has the potential to be the greatest television show ever. Or possibly the biggest trainwreck ever (some of those women are super scary). Or both. Regardless, I'm hooked after last week's episode.It Was Twenty Years Ago Today…
God, I'm old.

Song of the Day
I thought I would try something different this week. I've asked Marla from …For A Different Kind Of Girl to pick the songs this week and write a little something about each one. So without further ado…When I was 14, I had a boyfriend. He was sexy and slithery. He wore eyeliner and spoke with an accent that made me weak. My boyfriend's name was Michael, and we were clearly meant to be. Michael liked to tease me by prowling around the dinner table and trying to feed me figs. "Michael!" I'd protest. "Honestly! How many times have I told you? I don't like figs! And if you insist on cutting them with such a dull knife, someone is bound to get cranky and start throwing food around!" He'd laugh and say, "You know, your voice is a love song!" And I'd blush. Michael always made me blush. He was my first boyfriend. I met him while watching Friday Night Videos. "You are my thing," he told me, and I was gone for him. He knew it. I knew it. Who cares if it was pretend!
INXS' The One Thing was the first video I remember seeing (twenty five shocking years ago!!), and Shabooh Shoobah the first cassette I purchased with my own money. I've long ago upgraded to the CD, and when I need an excuse to simply dance in my living room, every track on it gives me one. To Look At You even gave me my blog title.
My boyfriend Michael always has been good to me like that.
