Hey Dana, happy Thursday.

Happy Thursday to you, my dear.

Thank you. I just want to let everybody know I'm a bit under the weather.

I woke up with a sore throat today, so my voice might be a little scratchy,

so I apologize for that.

But I'm in a good mood and I feel okay.

I've got that brain fog, though, so I'll end up in a room and not know why I'm there,

but that could also just be, you know.

Because I'm 50.

I hear you.
