Back to normal. That’s a phrase we hear all the time now. Whether it is used as a question, “When are things going to get back to normal?”, or as a statement “I can’t wait till things get back to normal,” it’s something we all hear people say multiple times a day. When will things get back to normal? Will we ever see what we consider “normal” ever again?
This is my first column, in what I hope will be a weekly endeavor. My radio show, Bump and Run, airs weekday mornings on Fox Sports AM1400 and 98.3 FM in Spartanburg, is first and foremost a sports talk show. However, we do things a little differently. We advertise ourselves on talking sports and stuff. Stuff can be anything from television show and movies to video games, and food. One segment we may talk football the next we may be taking about the new-est Netflix series. That is what I hope this column will be. Sometimes I may talk sports, some-time it may be stuff, and sometimes it may be a mixture of both. I just hope each time you read it you either learn something or are entertained. Maybe both.
