The unpredictable rhythm of life - that's a sentiment Chris Abraham is no stranger to. Episode 52 of Season 5 of "The Chris Abraham Show" takes listeners on a rollercoaster ride of emotions, from the anxiety of an unexpected atrial fibrillation episode to the casual chat with a local at the café.
Atrial fibrillation (or A-fib, as he calls it) isn't something new to Chris. It's been an unwanted companion ever since the heart failure episode he had in 2017. President or not, old or young, A-fib doesn't discriminate, but the unpredictability it brings can shadow even the most exciting plans, like volunteering for the Park Run the next morning. Chris's determination is evident as he brushes off the idea of letting it immobilize him. The power of medicines and a hopeful spirit might just restore the rhythm by 5:00 AM.
Amidst the health scares, Chris takes listeners on an engaging monologue about gluttony. A friendly chat in a café, the temptations of deli meat and cheese late at night, and the consequences of indulgence lead to a series of palpitations and an overworked Garmin watch. The inadvertent mistake reminds Chris, and by extension the listeners, about the importance of self-care, moderation, and being in tune with one's body. The heart has its rhythms, disrupted by the rush of everyday life, be it food, stress, or otherwise.
Continuing his day, Chris drifts into the allure of Arlington, VA, revealing more of his discoveries. From the attractions of Thomas Jefferson School's Community Center to the community libraries, he shares his plans and day-to-day adventures. There's an excitement in his tone as he talks about future endeavors, the possibilities Arlington has to offer, and how he plans to make the most of it. Shifting gears, he delves into the world of television, speaking fondly of Gutfeld and grappling with the dilemma of choosing between streaming services. Hulu TV, YouTube TV, or Sling? Chris seeks guidance from the ether.
With a cheerful demeanor, he dives into the topic of shoes, hinting at his upcoming weekend plans and the challenges of rocky trails in Roosevelt Island. The search for the perfect trail shoe is on, and Chris seems to have found a potential winner in Nike Pegasus Trail Four.
But amidst these daily adventures and decision-making, it's the unwavering spirit of Chris that shines through. Even when faced with an unexpected A-fib episode, he chooses to approach the day with hope, musing over the possibility of it just being a temporary glitch that'll soon correct itself.
Ending the episode, Chris reminds his listeners of the upcoming events, the parkrun, and the highly anticipated No Agenda meet-up. His sign-off, "Mahalo, Chao," serves as a sweet reminder that while life may throw curveballs, it's the little joys, discoveries, and connections that make it all worth it.
