text: OK, not my best art work. I was obviously too lazy to grab a soccer ball from the garage, so my version is a geometric nightmare. My apologies. My kids had no school today, but the kids I sit for were here anyway. It was 80 degrees out. Tank had a doctor's appointment. The kids had friends over. I made a quick trip to the grocery store. I used the gas grill for the first time ever. I whipped up my infamous 7 layer taco dip for a Chicago Bears Monday night football block party. I did a few load of laundry. AND I've been without a kitchen for about 7 weeks. Days like this the blog suffers. I contemplated making Coach and Ed dress in their matching clothes and posing for a photo, but that was NEVER going to happen. Oh, and I must note that no one in my family wears a baseball hat at this weird angle. Artist interpretation - or just crappy drawing, you decide. Wow, this caption is almost as long as an entire blog post!
  I bust out laughing. I was slightly embarrassed. Eddie was the dude that was dressed similarly to Coach, built the same, and carrying on with the same mannerisms. Aha! It made perfect sense that he had pulled Reg over for some added instruction.
  That morning when Ed headed to the golf course to caddy, he informed us that there would be a 27 hold tournament. I didn't expect to see him for hours. Apparently, the caddy master asked him to caddy for a group that was teeing off before the tournament began. Since he finished early he decided to come and watch a few minutes of his little brother's game.
  If Ed hadn't been wearing the navy jacket, his Kelly green polo shirt that he wears as his caddy uniform would've tipped me off. Ed is thinner and a tad shorter than his father, but I hadn't noticed just how similar Ed is to Coach now that Ed has reached 6 foot 3. Coach is 6 foot 4.
  Ed and Reggie are cut from the same cloth to a point of ridiculousness. Now, I see that the Ed/Reggie real-live action figure is crafted exactly after their dear old Dad.
  Tank, on the other hand, is most often associated with resembling his father. If he had escaped his dog house and attended the game, he could've made the game of 'Guess who is who' on the sidelines even more interesting.
  
  In the mid-1980’s, the World Wrestling Federation exploded in popularity on the wave of Hulk Hogan and the Rock and Wrestling Connection. For those not old enough to remember, it can’t be quantified just how much the partnership with MTV and Cyndi Lauper helped to usher in new fans that had previously dismissed the wrestling industry as lowbrow entertainment.
  In 1984, Lauper was neck to neck with Madonna as the female face of the musical industry. Her album, “She’s So Unusual” topped the charts, and she won multiple Grammy Awards, and was escorted to the ceremony by Hulk Hogan, who wore a sleeveless tuxedo to showcase his “24 inch pythons”. Lauper not only appeared on WWF television, but she managed a young female wrestler from Texas, Wendi Richter.
