Hulkamania

My son Jared has been a fan of the WWE (formerly WWF) since he was a kid. I would watch it with him then and enjoyed many of the colorful characters. I do not watch it much anymore for reasons I will not go into(Even though my brother, Tim and I attended Wrestlemania, I forget what number, at Ford Field year before last.) Jared was into Hulk-a-mania back when Hulk Hogan was the big draw of the WWF. Some of you may know that Hulk has his own reality T.V. show now and that he and his family live in Clearwater, Florida ,the same place Jared lives.
A couple of years ago Jared got a call from a friend who told him that she had spotted Hulk shopping at the Target right by his apartment. Jared jumped in his car and took off to see if he could catch a glimpse of his boyhood idol. When Jared arrived he found Hulk sitting at the check-out line waiting for his wife who had two shopping carts full of stuff to pay for. Jared pulled out his camera phone and asked Mr. Hogan if he could take his picture. Hulk said "Go ahead brother", and Jared snapped the picture. Jared sent the picture to me and now I am posting it at the bottom of the page for you to see. I chuckle everytime I look at this picture and think of the story behind it.
