My parents loved wresting and we watched at the neighbors, too, before we got our first t.v. I remember hearing those wrestlers names. I really enjoyed the telethon and Ali.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1526821574480507893.post-38454317953536008072010-01-25T23:16:15.166-06:002010-01-25T23:16:15.166-06:00I remember watching Ali box.

Mohammed Ali came from Cassius Clay and he was a real man. He lost some fans when he converted to being a Muslim, but he was just so good I couldn't be upset with him. There is a commercial that uses his voice saying "Float Like a butterfly, Sting like a Bee". It causes me to remember some fun times with my dad and how fun Muhammed Ali was.<br /><br />It was nice when his daughter was on dancing with the stars. She is a beautiful woman and her dad and mom showed up for her dance sequence. It was like seeing royalty.Amber Starhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04084517063365211835noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1526821574480507893.post-175613230854964612010-01-25T18:44:02.104-06:002010-01-25T18:44:02.104-06:00I really don't know any woman who likes boxing...I really don't know any woman who likes boxing.I guess that Dad working at night and me being there with my Mom...who loved it...really rubbed off on me. She was more of an influence that I realized. She was a typical Mom...who sewed all my clothes, loved to cook but never gardened.She loved TV and her soap operas. I guess she would be the typical June Cleaver of her day.<br />BalishaBalishahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17298193443371503407noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1526821574480507893.post-81929267441086161352010-01-25T18:34:43.182-06:002010-01-25T18:34:43.182-06:00I watched the telethon Friday night, and I agree A...I watched the telethon Friday night, and I agree Ali's appearance was one of the most moving of the evening. I thought the whole telethon was inspiring, and I hope that it prompted many to donate to this cause. The people of Haiti are going to need help from everyone to rebuild their shattered country.<br /><br />I'm not a fan of boxing, but I do remember listening to the fights when Sonny Liston, Ali, and others of that time period were boxing. I remember seeing Ali light the Olympic torch as well--was that in the last Olympics? He has become an inspiration for so many.<br /><br />Thanks for dropping by and for the tip about Ellen's show--I'll be gone tomorrow, so I'll have to record it.Rosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01384059342847120951noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1526821574480507893.post-79571847623664294762010-01-25T14:55:27.545-06:002010-01-25T14:55:27.545-06:00The moment with Muhammad Ali was extremely poignan...The moment with Muhammad Ali was extremely poignant. I sat there in silence soaking in the message.
