Well there it is, number three – Dolly Parton. I just knew another death was around the corner, but Dolly was a national icon. I really can’t say I was into her music, but I also can’t deny her impact on the industry and our society.
I don’t want to dwell on death all day again, but this one hurts. My parents listened to her and I grew up with her music and seeing her on Hee Haw. This is nearly as much of a direct assault on my childhood as discovering they are selling Lamb Chop as a dog toy.
Anyhow, the day has already been relatively productive. The lawn gal has come and gone, I picked today’s bounty of veggies, and the garden’s already been watered. I think I’ll turn the sprinkler on for the birds this afternoon, as they seem to really enjoy it. I still need to finalize the logistics for our trip to LA for Iron Maiden, as well as for our Labor Day weekend plans.
I’d better get to it…
Song of the day: Last Caress by The Misfits
