Good Golly, Indeed . . .
An abbreviated online blurb (and photos) of the SI: Good Golly, Ms. Molly column I reference below . . .
My s.o. tossed the September 26, 2005 issue of Sports Illustrated on my sofa last evening and said, "You should really read Rick Reilly's column this week," and kept on walking out of the room. I usually read the Life Of Reilly column that fills the last page of each issue of SI because Rick Reilly is often amusing as well as topical. This issue was not his usual topics.
I ended up reading twenty-plus paragraphs about Molly Shattuck. For those who don't know her, she is one of the richest women in Baltimore (married to the Fortune-500 multimillionaire CEO of Constellation Energy), and a 38 year old mother of three children under the age of seven. In addition to that, she runs marathons, tap-dances, is learning to play the piano, throws dinner parties for 250 guests and makes all of the flower arrangements herself. Oh! . . . and, to top it all off . . . she tried out for the Ravens Cheerleading squad . . . and made it!
She's at least fifteen years older than the team-average, the only one with kids, and if you lined-up all fifty-three Ravens cheerleaders looking for the oldest, they say you wouldn't pick her out in 10 tries! One cheerleader (age 18) when told that Molly was 38, said, "At first I thought she was 24." And, her 50 year old husband was quoted as saying, "Suddenly, I wake up and I'm married to an NFL cheerleader. How good is that?"
When I finished reading Reilly's column, I really only had one word to describe it . . . it's probably best I don't repeat it here . . .
