Should we do this? What should we do? How should we do this? <\/p>\n<p>And I&#8217;ll tell you a little secret, I got into one of these topics and I was just trying to keep the question on track and under control and thinking <em>How can I do Christmas? Should we even be talking like this?<\/em> and it&#8217;s a little bit heart rending. So, as you might imagine, the question wasn&#8217;t going so well. <\/p>\n<p>But just as that happened an alarm on my phone went off. And that gave me the opportunity to re-frame and re-phrase the question. And Shandy Dearth, who is the public health professional here, is a total pro. Also, she&#8217;s got really solid advice and perspective and you should listen to what she has to say. <\/p>\n<p><center><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.kennysmith.org\/blog\/banners\/bannerarbutus.jpg\"><\/center><\/p>\n<p>I got home tonight, shed the clothes that had been exposed to the elements of semi-public society, took the cleansing and decontaminating shower and came downstairs to a plate almost ready for dinner:<\/p>\n<p><center><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.kennysmith.org\/photo\/nov20\/nov11.jpg\"><\/center><\/p>\n<p>All I had to do was put the meat on the rice. That&#8217;s thoughtful, and full service romance. <\/p>\n<p>Also, it was pretty tasty, too. And, I&#8217;m told, we&#8217;ll have a flaming onion tomorrow &#8230; <\/p>\n<p><center><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.kennysmith.org\/blog\/banners\/bannerarbutus.jpg\"><\/center><\/p>\n<p>It was a studio night tonight, which is an excellent reminder for me to get caught up on studio stuff. Here&#8217;s a sports show from late last week:<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"900\" height=\"506\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/1J5g6MhII68\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>And here&#8217;s a talk show, where they talked about the greatest of all time in all the big sports.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"900\" height=\"506\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/uC9QzNFLZ6o\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>I think they should do a greatest of all times in lesser-known-in-America sports. Make them work at the show prep, and really stress having to sell the argument to an audience who already doesn&#8217;t think about Tom Brady or Michael Jordan or Lebron James or whomever.<\/p>\n<p>You know what I need to know? I need to know the best flat to ever swim in water polo, and the greatest brakeman in bobsledding history. <\/p>\n<p>Now that&#8217;d be a show worth sinking your teeth into. <\/p>\n<p>Until we get that, please scroll back up and listen to that podcast. Please, and thank you.
