I’ve Got The Hippy Shakes

Does Break Dancing belong in the Olympics?

The Winter Olympics are over. The next stop is in Paris for the Summer Games in 2024,

Each Olympics brings new events. In recent years we’ve seen Golf, Tennis and Softball become part of the Summer Games. The Winter Games are highlighted by numerous Snowboard competitions.

So what’s new for 2024? Would you believe Break Dancing? No, I didn’t make that up. You’re reading it correctly. Break Dancing is coming to Paris.

My first reaction to hearing this was a smirk, a shake of my head followed by saying to myself, “Are you f’ing kidding me?” But, I probably said the same thing about Curling, and I just spent the last two weeks watching a form of extreme shuffleboard on ice. Hmmm…why isn’t shuffleboard an Olympic Sport? It has to be better than Break Dancing.

I guess I have two years to get used to this Break Dancing as a sport thing. I’m already counting down the days.

My so called friends think it’s time to edit this section. After four years, they may be right, but don’t tell them that. I’ll deny it until they die!
I can’t believe I’ve been writing this blog for four years.
It started as a health/wellness thing and over the years has morphed to include so many things that I don’t know how to describe it anymore.
I really thought this was going to be the final year of the blog but then Donald Trump came along. It looks like we’re good for four more years..God help us all!
Oh yeah…the biographical stuff. I’m not 60 anymore. The rest you can read about in the blog.
