Late July 2014



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.
