Feelin’ Alright!
It was Five Years Ago today that I first picked up an ukulele. My first song was a two-note original I made up on the spot. Commemorating that day by covering another two-note song…

Ya hoo.
I do that with Nascar and Dark Shadows. Doesn’t mean I don’t enjoy them.
What it is they are just interesting enough to relax your brain, its like meditating.
Do you have trouble sleeping as well? I have trouble shutting my brain down.
Sports are Reality Television and just like Survivor or Jersey Shore you can’t enjoy them without knowing the nuance and the back story.
Baseball is very much like that. Most people are bored with it. You have to have played baseball to enjoy watching it. It helps if you know game situations, hit and run, Outfield/Infield switches, Hitting behind the runner..
Cricket is much like Baseball those that grew up with it and know the difficulties of a good bowl or block enjoy watching the game, everyone else is bored by it.
Although no one has played NASCAR, I hope, it helps knowing the Nuances, when to pit, the strategies of drafting and tire changes… And it helps to know the Back Story. How many years has Jimmy Johnson won the pt race. Did Kyle Bush rub someone and are they now upset with each other..etc.
Once I explained the First Down and the fight for field position, I have converted people to liking American Football.
And in any sport is good to become emotionally invested in the players, just as survivor fans become emotionally invested in a Rueben, Russell, Ollie, or Boston Rob.
I remember a time I would not go anywhere without a Carl Yastremski card in the spokes of the front wheel of my Bicycle and a glove hanging from the Handle bar. Had a Coon Skin cap and squirrel’s tail flying from the banana seat and you get the full picture. Man, I was Stylin’.
