Something like this would make a great fundraiser for a library.

A children's reading program called 'Lucha Libro' combines story time with live wrestling matches that lean more toward the tradition of Mexican lucha libre-style wrestling, with masked wrestlers galore and high-flying acrobatics in a setting where, traditionally, a whisper could get you shushed.

At a recent event at the Benicia Public Library in California, wrestler Llama Jack paused to read the children’s book Llama Llama Time to Share. In grand wrestling tradition, he was interrupted by a heel. They fought, Llama Jack won, and then he picked up the book and finished the story.

Monday morning as I write this. Just got done going through my memories on both my pages From The Left Side and Music in the Key of Life.

I took a moment to listen to Play at Your Own Risk by Planet Patrol and remembered how insane that song was. That band is no longer around sadly.

I watched a match between Joe Clean and Ricky Pryce and remembered how insane that was. Wish I could see more matches like that one from those two.

It never hurts to go back in time, but keep in mind you can't stay there.
