Okay, here we are. This is Jay Brown Yoga Talks podcast. My name is Jay Brown. If this happens to be your first time listening to the show, let me welcome you.

Everyone else, what's up? How are we doing? Does anybody know? And I don't mean that on an individual

level, because I'm hoping that we're all doing a bit of yoga practice and able to go inside ourselves

and have some sense of how we're doing as individuals.

But I'm asking on a more collective level because I don't see any stabilizing happening.

And maybe it was naive of me to think that things would start to

stabilize over time. Everyone keeps saying we're not going back to normal, and we are certainly

learning that on a daily basis. Here in my country, we've got federal agents tear gassing moms who are peacefully protesting.

And like I was talking about last week, everybody's trying to figure out if it's okay to send their kids back to school.

It's all so confusing.

Like I said, it just feels like everything is boiling over,

including me right now, because I'm in my attic and it's ridiculously hot and I'm sweating.

And I'm just feeling terribly out of sorts.

Not just because the world's falling apart and because it's hot,

but because yesterday they pulled my tooth out.

If you've been listening, you heard me talking about this infection I had and my tooth.

Well, yesterday they extracted it.

And my dentist did a fantastic job.

She numbed me up very good, so it didn't hurt while she was doing it at all. But as that nova cane wore off throughout the day, oh boy, could I feel it?

And you know what the craziest part is the sound. The sound of someone pulling your tooth out

is crazy.

But I'm glad to be addressing it finally.
