<\/a>But actually, I\u2019m not quite as gung-ho as I usually am for this quadrennial event. (Your first clue was that I used just one \u201c!\u201d in the title, as opposed to the trio of them that I usually invoke for announcements such as this.) I think that\u2019s because I\u2019m so worried about the Zika virus, I can’t stand it. I\u2019ll worry about all of these athletes for the rest of my life! (I\u2019m serious about that\u2014we don\u2019t know how far-reaching the devastating effects of that evil virus are.)<\/p>\nAnd I feel awful for the competitors who dropped-out because of that very situation. The opportunities to be in the Olympics are, by definition, few and far-between, and it\u2019s a crying shame that so many of these people who have been training for their whole lives will have to miss-out because of serious health concerns.<\/p>\n
I\u2019m still be publishing my columns here, but please forgive me if they\u2019re not as coherent as usual. (Assuming most of my others are<\/em>!) I rarely get much sleep during the Olympics because I try to watch every second<\/em> of coverage! It was much easier back in the day, when there was just one channel covering them, and we had to be satisfied with mainly three hours of primetime broadcasts each night. But these<\/em> days, there\u2019s a plethora of networks covering all<\/em> the sports, and we can choose exactly which ones we want to watch. The big problem for me is that I care about all<\/em> of them! Yes, that does mean I watch the Olympics just about round the clock! (Why do I look so forward to this every-four-year event? I should dread<\/em> it!)<\/p>\n Should I miss writing a column here and there, no problem. That\u2019s because I will be tweeting (@MajorCelebrity<\/strong>) about the games daily because I\u2019m sure to be outraged about something<\/em>, don\u2019t you think? (And, FYI, my Facebook Fan Page is listed as It\u2019s Not About Me TV<\/strong>. So, please \u201clike\u201d it, if you haven\u2019t already, and you\u2019ll automatically be in with the in-crowd who sees my INAM columns.)<\/p>\n
