I guess all the cold, rainy weather was finally catching up with me since I was starting to get a sore throat. Of course this happens the weekend right before I am scheduled to anchor the Buckeye TV News show. But all I could do now was pray, drink some hot tea and rest. Even though it would hurt so much to talk, I still had to record the voice overs for my news package this week. Consequently, I sounded a little bit like a man, but what else can you do when using your voice is essential to your job? People in professions like broadcasting, teaching, pastoring or coaching really can't afford to get sick because they can't just do work at their desk or hide behind their cubicle and handle business on the computer, they have to speak for just about everything they do.
I did feel a little better on Sunday just in time for the news show taping in the afternoon. I kept my water handy and was able to make it through the 30-minute broadcast. Being sick at any time is always dreadful, but it also makes you appreciate all the days out of the year that you aren't sick and all those healthy times we often take for granted...
Here's a look at the show in 3 parts:
