For some reason WGN from Chicago is a channel that is carried by our cable company. Thank you Comcast, and special thanks to WGN for today's Rocky marathon. There are Rocky marathons every year, usually on TBS, TNT, ESPNClassic, and sometimes AMC. You see, I have these movies on DVD. I also have them in my mind as well. I don't even really need to view the movie to watch it...every detail is committed to long term memory. Even the Rocky soundtrack is in my car and on my iPod. I am such a dedicated (obsessed) fan that I have my own recruit-JBB. He even has Rocky boxing gloves that play the theme song. Currently we are watching Drago and Rocky duke it out in IV and JBB is dancing around shadow boxing. Lest you think I have overexposed my firstborn to too much pretend violence and rousing theme songs, never fear. He just said, "Mommy, I really, really hope Rocky wins."

Oh...... How sweet is that?! If you are at an advanced age, as I am, hearing the music is like a total time-warp taking you back immediately to the first film. It's amazing. And *still* one of the better 'get your blood moving,' beginning of a workout themes as I can think of.
