One of our favorite BTSHers is BACK!  That’s right, Becky Norris has returned from a long hiatus overseas, and we all couldn’t be happier. I am so happy that she is back that I was inspired to write a piece about her triumphant return. However, I then decided that an interview would be even better, so Becky and I sat down together at the Russian Tea Room for a talk.  (That part probably didn’t happen.)

Though, Jamie did happen to spontaneously capture this candid photo of us:

 

 

Becky!  It’s so great to see you!  So, tell our readers, what exactly were you doing while in Cambodia?

Driving tuk tuks and trying to meet a real man (mission accomplished.)

What will you miss most about Cambodia?

Big Cambodian smiles, the driving (not!), baby lizards, sugar palms and green rice fields, spicy salty mango dip, the big, clear, blue skies each day, cute Khmer kiddies, seeing motos overloaded to the brim, homemade banana and jackfruit ice cream, Khmer iced coffee, macaque watchin, and my pet stairway bat.

I know that you played street hockey in Cambodia. Can you tell us more about that? 

Yes, I played in the CHL, and it was remarkably similar to BTSH. In fact, we had our very own Rob Walsh.

 

Why are you most happy to be back? 

1. To hear Jamie’s laugh.
2. To attend Amy’s Ocho de Mayo again.
3. To drink at another BTSH bar that’s super dark during the middle of a beautiful Sunday (though HiFi gets points for its framed Dylan records).
4. Grow the Norris/Johnston/Bobber empire now that Z and D are getting hitched, Caroline re-joined and James just joined.
5. To be a Mathlete again …
6. … and beat Fuzz.

What is the biggest change you’ve noticed in BTSH since you’ve returned, if any?

More women at the helm!! #DanielleIsWomanHearHerRoar

What hasn’t changed is Glanzer still talks about having nice calves, and JW still likes all. FB. posts. #anddontforgetthehashtag

While I have you here, Becks, I might as well ask you some questions that aren’t related to your hiatus…

 

If you were going to play on a BTSH team that isn’t Math, which team would you pick and why? (I am by no means suggesting that you leave Math, they have had enough spillage recently. We’ll edit this part out later.)

Mega so I can wear jean shorts w/ the team when it’s 95 degrees out…and Julie will feed me candy.

What’s your favorite Taylor Swift song?  (Wait, what, umm…how did this get in here. I’m not a Swiftie or anything, what would even make you think that??)

I’d say Bad Blood, because it reminds me of the time CHERIE LEFT MATH!

“Baby, now we’ve got bad blood
You know it used to be math love”

#JK #CantHateARiveter #AndMichelleIsStillAMathlete!

What was your most embarrassing moment in life?

When I lost to Rich in arm wrestling.

What is your favorite thing about me? (Rachel Greene: oops, did I make this about me, as usual?)

That you’re a #niceguydick

Who is your favorite musician/band/recording artist?  (Mine definitely ISN’T Taylor Swift.  Wait, did you bring her up?)

Did you not see my earlier response about HiFi? Bobbie D.

Lastly, and most importantly, do you fold your pizza New York style (or are we not friends anymore)?

Sometimes.

 

Well, Becky, I guess we are only sometimes friends, then.  Though I LOVED all your hashtags. 

Other than that, I guess there is nothing left to say except…….WELCOME BACK KIDDO!!!
