Keep It Short
People don’t like to read long,
boring blogs, so I am bound and
determined to keep this week’s
Hiccups shorter and not do so
much rambling and blabbering.
Maybe this will be the new norm, or new
Norb. My sister’s name is Norma. She has
always been normal, I have not. Maybe I
will be the new abnormal. Who says we have
to be normal? If I have been stupid in the
past, can’t I just continue to be stupid after
we come out of whatever this thing is we
are in? They can’t force me to be sensible
and thoughtful, they can’t take my right to
be stupid away. My right to act stupid has
been given to me by God and protected by
that thing called the Bill of Rights. They
can lock me down, they can tell me to wear
a mask, they can tell me not to get close to
anyone, but I can still choose to be happy,
write crazy stuff, and have a cold one. My
loyal readers like me much better when I’m
off the wall. Too many people are writing
about heavy stuff these days. My last few
week’s postings have been too serious. We need
some fun. We need some laughter. We need
baseball to return. We need to look forward
to taking a summer vacation. We
need to take our mind off of this
whole mess and live. That’s it!
Short and to the point! I was able
to get a cold one and God in there.
Wow! I saved a couple of trees.
Now, start your new abnormal by
really living and enjoying life.
Los Angeles Browns
I learned some baseball trivia this
past week. Did you know that the
St. Louis Browns baseball team was ready to
move to Los Angeles in December of 1941?
Yes, that was 17 years prior to the Dodgers
coming to town. The Major League Baseball
owners were meeting in Chicago to take a
vote to approve the move on December 7,
1941. The Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor
changed everything. None of the owners
voted approve the move and the Browns
eventually became the Baltimore Orioles of
the American League. If it were not for the
fateful attack, the baseball landscape would
have been dramatically different. Hopefully
the Boys in Blue will be able to play ball
soon, maybe in front of an empty Dodger
Stadium. At least we won’t have to fight the
traffic and pay for parking. We’ll have to have
our Dodger Dogs on our own barbeque, of
course along with a cold one. Go Giants!
