Remains of the Day (07/23)






Wrestle Wednesday: They're packing heat














Hot Cat of the Day: I think I've seen that face before on my mom!


On a personal note: A cousin of mine (whom I barely know) kindly sent me a DVD of a bunch of old Walsh home movies, and I can't tell you how exhilarating it was to see my father (and twin brother Kenny) in motion, running around, boxing and just growing up -- even the early days of Dad's relationship with my mom were captured (that's 17-year-old Molly, below, after picking up her paycheck at the Co-Op supermarket where she worked). My paternal grandmother didn't have a lot when her husband died unexpectedly at 51, leaving her with eight children to raise. But for whatever reason, she always had her cameras -- still and home movie -- and I can't help but think how pleased she would be to know that her youngest grandchild is soaking it all up more than a half century later.
