Remember, Oprah is on at Four

The last few days I’ve not felt very good. I don’t know what I have but I expect it is the flu that is going around like wildfire at the office. Or maybe it was the Denver Broncos performance in the Super Bowl. I showed up Monday and got a few things done that needed to be done but I woke up Tuesday and no way I was going to work feeling like I did.

I had a boss years ago who’d tell me, “Hey Alan, don’t forget Oprah is on at 4” and then laugh. I loved Oprah, what a show. I miss her. I have a new favorite though: “Live with Kelly and Michael.” It is like wow, what an unlikely pair but the chemistry between them wonderful to watch. I remember Michael Strahan as an almost unbelievably intense football player and it is otherwordly watching his repartee with Kelly Ripa. It is almost like the finish each other’s sentences. What a way to start the day if you are feeling like crap.

I’ve learned that staying hydrated is a big thing when I’m not feeling well. I’m drinking lots of tea and water. 

Something that has got a lot of air time the past couple days is the big debate between Bill Nye, the Science Guy, and a creationist. What a scoop for the creationist. Nobody had ever heard of him beforehand nor his so called museum. He may be ignorant but he is pretty smart. It really peeves me when creationists say that their theories are the “Christian” viewpoint. This Christian sees no contradiction at all between the Bible and science, yes even including evolution. In my view creationists are trying to dictate to God what he can and cannot do. 

Well, I’m getting a little cranky so it is time to sign off.

    Our office used to provide flu shots. I’ve gotten them every year for the past six or seven years and now flu to date. Now that I’m retired, I still get a flu shot. Get better soon. I do kind of like Michael and Kelly. They’re much better than that “Hen Party” they call The View.

    Cannot, of course, comment on your tv programmes but I am more than aware of “man flu”. Does it not cross your mind that you may only have a bad cold? Not sure you would be able to post and watch tv if you REALLY had the flu. That said, hope you soon feel better.

    Hope you’re feeling better. I’ve become a big fan of Kelly and Michael these last two weeks also. I loved their Super Bowl bet that she lost–she had to be on the show today without makeup and George Clooney was a guest. They seem very down to earth.

    You have me thinking the morning show has an appeal for both men and women, and that’s pretty smart. For years, my mom was a Regis fan. Time marches on.

    I need to catch up on that debate. Like you, I resent anybody presuming to speak for every single soul. Sometimes they make us responsible for their narrowness–and we have enough to do in a day. Yeesh.
