Early August

Last week was pretty busy.  Dan Rather's producer & videographer were here for a few days, then he came out for 2 days.  I got to meet him, so that was pretty darn neat. 
Dan Rather is 79 years old and he's a really nice guy.  I spoke with him for an extended amount of time.  He's been married for over 50 years and he still sends his wife emails or texts while he's gone so that she won't worry.  I think that's awesome. 
The person taking the photo told me to hug him.  I was embarrassed and nearly killed the photographer afterwards, but Dan was a good sport and gave me a hug. 
The episodes that he shot will be shown in September on HDNet on his new show called Dan Rather Reports.  Apparently it'll be split into two segments, one in early Sept & one on Sept 11th. 

Not nearly as exciting, but good news - I have found out who my replacement is.  YEAH! 
I can almost sit up all the way in my bed.  I'm paranoid about falling out of bed.  So I put a pillow on the edge side of the bed so I won't roll over too far in the middle of the night.  That's why I have so many pillows.
