I don't like change. And change confronted me this morning at Kiwanis. When I first joined, shortly after Larry died, Cecil invited me to sit beside him, then Fr Clark joined us, but now with Cecil gone and Fr Clark on his way to Sand Springs, our little threesome this morning just came down to me.
The programme was very good though, it was a couple on a harmonica and piano, and a musical programme is what I like best. The harmonica player was also a bit of a stand up comic.
At noon I went off to the hospital in search of some company and joined Chaplain Bill, Pattisue (who was there for her weekly lab test) and another chaplain, for lunch. We had quite a long lunch, chatting, and it was very nice.
Had an afternoon nap, then met Pattisue at the downtown cinema for 'Earth to Echo'. I don't know why I wanted to see it. It was rubbish. If I had been by myself I'd have left before the end, but I just sat back and sipped my illegal lemonade - illegal because one can only eat and drink what is on sale at the concession stand, which has nothing I like, so I smuggle in my own. The person selling tickets was a friend of Pattisue, and a member of her church, University Baptist - anyway to cut a long story short I am going to their Sunday morning study group on Hezekiah, which I had better read up about, between now and then. It might sound a bit dry, but you don't take a degree in theology if you're not interested in it.
So that has been my day, with its high points and low points.
This day in history......2008
Paul Newman died. I didn't know he was dead, I missed that. But he was 83, so a lot older than I thought he was. Another fact I didn't know is that he was a keen on motor racing. After playing a professional race car driver in 1969’s “Winning,” he became passionate about the sport and competed in a number of races, including the prestigious 24 Hours of Le Mans, at which he took second place in 1979.
