Got some good sleep last night because yesterday evening I looked at my pill box and realized I forgot to load the little blue (Aleve) tablets when I restocked it last weekend...... No wonder my back kept waking me up all week. Took two and slept like a baby.
Went up to the Springs yesterday to run some errands and check on my dad, he ended up in the ER on Thursday with pain in his chest, Pleurisy, an inflammation of the pleura, the lining surrounding the lungs. He was fine but in looking around the house I realized I'm going to have to make a trip mid week to clean and take care of a few things and in a couple of weeks go up to get his garden ready for planting, at least I'll get my exercise.
He's not getting around as well and since my mom passed he hasn't been taking as good a care of himself or the house, just last weekend we smelled gas in the basement and had a repairman come out, one of the shutoff valves was bad. He couldn't smell it.
He really enjoys our visits as he is quite lonely now, he would love for us to move back in but, try as we might we can't find work up there yet. Hopefully soon. He talks about moving down to Alabama with my next youngest brother mainly because he'll be able to breath easier, he has COPD, and he'll give us the house in the Springs.
Up early this morning. Will be leaving for church in just a little bit. Have had my coffee. Went out on the back porch to check on the kittens and found one of them dead. Not a good start for the day.
Happy Sunday

A little depressed this morning. I have no claim to fame. Not even fleetingly.

No need to be depressed. Celebrities are just like you and I, when they take a shit it stinks, just like your shit. I've never understood why people think it is somehow "special" simply because they met an actor/actress, sport figure or somebody else "famous".
My last brush with "fame" went down like this.............
I was staying at The Rio Casino in Las Vegas and was getting my morning coffee. There are two Starbucks in the casino. One is near the elevators close to the rooms and the casino floor, it always has an horrendous line around 8:00am. The other is off the beaten path and it never has a line, so I walk the extra distance to use that one. So, I walk into the Starbucks and there is this tall large fellow standing at the counter, I line up behind him (a line of two). He looks at me and says, "If you know what you want, go ahead, I'm still trying to decide". I recognized him, he was Penn Jillette of Penn and Teller. I thanked him, ordered a plain coffee, and sat down to drink it.
End of interaction, because I really don't care. He's just another person, albeit a very large person.
Not trying to be smart but you misspelled Jillette.Oh come on. Penn Gillette is 'not just another person' as you are not 'just another person.' I don't know a single other person who gets excited about the stuff you travel hundreds of miles to get. Or that knows as much about those items as you know. And I have PhD anthropologists and archeologists in my family.
Penn is brilliant. I first learned who he was and sort of got to know him on Celebrity Apprentice. His leadership, marketing instincts, and creativity superior to almost all other candidates became quickly apparent. And then it turns out he is a much-more-than-average amateur cook and has participated in a lot of on line cooking competitions open to celebrities. And he has always accomplished himself well there too as well as making it entertaining. I have learned to appreciate who he is a lot.
