A Confession



First of all, apologies for the lack of blogging lately.

Second, my confession:

I saw some youngsters wearing their baseball caps backwards, as they are wont to do, and it occurred to me...I may be responsible for that trend.

You see, when I saw about four years old, I was walking down the local commercial boulevard with my father, of blessed memory. I was wearing a baseball cap; the brim was much too large for my four year old head. Without being aware of it, I walked too close to some scaffolding (I couldn't see much in front of, and certainly nothing above, me). My father noticed and pulled me aside, just as something crashed overhead.

Needless to say, I had a good scare. So, I quickly turned my cap around so that I could gain a bigger field of vision.

That was about 1985 or 1986. Perhaps Grandmaster Flash turned his cap around before I did, but at least I was on the cutting edge of that trend.

I'm sorry.
