Gratitude. The nothing personal word of the day today, January 25, 2021 is gratitude.

The amount of gratitude I feel, which is not an easy emotion to talk about. It's when

you realize that you can't do something alone and you feel so thankful to people who

help you accomplish simply what you did not think was possible.

When I did the show, nothing personal. I finished on Wednesday, last Wednesday. I don't

know the date today's Monday. So I guess that would be the 20th. I had not been feeling

well at all starting Tuesday. So I went to get tested, which is what you're supposed

to do when you feel like you have COVID symptoms. I had a backache. I had chills and I had

fever. Went to get tested. And as I was about to go on CBS Sports HQ on Wednesday night

to talk about something that was going on in baseball, I can't remember what it was.

I got a call that I had tested positive for COVID. What happens when you test positive?

We've been talking about COVID for a year on this show. The world has been talking about

it for over a year. And the fear of COVID can sometimes be worse than actually having

COVID. That's what I thought. I spent a year convincing myself I didn't want to get it

because it was dreaded and scary and you could die. And I've got all these plans. I'm

a planner. I've got great things coming ahead in the next few months, few years, few decades.
