Enough of
trying to be funny. It’s time to talk
about something serious. Why is Egg Nog
the only nog? Or is it? And how did it
get its name? Is it breakfast food related? Does it have anything to do with
reproduction? (I won’t even explain where that thought was headed.) Since eggs are usually considered a breakfast
food I wonder about other breakfast foods.
Like -- should there be bacon nog, grits nog, hash browns nog, or gravy
nog? I just think that since Egg Nog is
so good, maybe we are missing out on other good things. Other good Nog related things.
I played
baseball in my early years. As a little
leaguer I was good enough to talk my way into missing my cousins wedding in
order to not miss a baseball game. I
don’t remember that many of the details of the event. I don’t remember with
whom I stayed or where or how. But I do
remember that when I hit my very first career homerun, nobody was there to
witness it. At least none of my family
that is. They were all at the
wedding. Funny how those things work out
sometimes.
