So they’re brothers

1966…baseball cards…a rug, ironing board, folding chair, and a fireplace…living the dream.

We grew up in York County, Pennsylvania.

Baltimore, Maryland was the closest city with a professional sports team(s). Philly and Pittsburg, even though in our home state, were farther away.

Baltimore had the Orioles baseball team and the Colts football team.

The Orioles and the Colts were ‘my’ teams.

My Mom tells the story about me asking if (or maybe me simply stating they are) Frank Robinson and Brooks Robinson are brothers.

One was black, one white.

i didn’t see the difference.

i asked because they had the same last name and played on the same baseball team. How could they not be brothers?

There’s a lot of truth in comedy.

And a lot of comedy in truth.

Surfing You Tube last week and a new name in comedy presented itself as a video i might like.

Sight unseen. Name unrecognizable. Gave the 56-minute video a shot.

Couldn’t stop laughing.

All the way to the end.

Greg is an artist.

That’s initially what hooked me.

Few would focus on that, but i go there naturally, instinctively. Always ready for a teachable moment (or 56 minutes).

It’s delightful when a You Tube comedy video is funnier than expected. Watched it the first week of December. Sharing it here to see if it’s still worth rewatching in mid-July.
