Just BLOW!

Phone rings.

Mr. Pitt picks up the phone and stares at the caller ID, deciding to put the phone back and not answer.

"It's one of those advertisements...I'm getting to recognize their numbers."

Phone stops ringing, no one leaves a message on the other end.

"You know what I want to do one of these days?"

What's that?

"One of these days I want to buy a whistle, and just BLOW! Yeah, I'm going to answer their damn phone calls and just blow my whistle until they call the police department or Obama's office."

No...I Don't Know.

Today, Mr. Pitt told me, "I'm delicious inside, you know?"

There's a Forgotten Hepburn Movie Star?

"Do they have any stores around here that sell those DVD's?"

(I nod my head)

"Oh, we need to have a day when we go there. I'd like to have some of those around. You know, of the great movies of our time...or, my time, rather... There were some biggies back then. Like...uh, like Gloria Hepburn. And there was that one famous guy, I can't think of his name. He was Mr. Smith Goes to Washington...

James Stewart?

"No..."

(It was...but I tried again)... Uh...Carey Grant?

Yeah yeah yeah!!! Carey Grant, he was the Gone With the Wind Guy, too.

Hm...No he wasn't.

"Oh yes he was, I'm sure of that."

Hm...well I'm pretty sure it's not. (I looked it up, thanks IMDB!)...It's Clark Gable.

"Who?"

Clark Gable.

"Clark Gable...I don't know that name. Are you sure you have it right?"

mmm yep.

"Huh. Well, anyway, I'd like to have some of those around."

Consider Your Source...

Number 8 on the agenda today:

• Look up LYRICA on computer

I printed out information on Lyrica and gave it to Mr. Pitt.

Minutes later...

"Heather, how did you find information on this? What was your source?"

I used Lyrica's website.

"But what was the source, how did you find it?"

Oh, I googled the word "Lyrica" and found their website...remember how I wrote instructions for you on how to do research on the computer? I just typed the word, and Lyrica's website was the first result.

"Okay, but what was your source? How did the word pop into your head to search it?"

...because you told me to look up the word "Lyrica."

"....Oh...(thinking out loud to himself)...So I had a source..."

Should Have Known

First thing on the agenda today was the item "Find address book."

So. For roughly 13 minutes, I was moving and looking through Mr. Pitt's "organized piles, checking his desk drawers, moving furniture, getting on my hands and knees looking under furniture that was too big to move...all while he sat in his favorite chair and watched his stocks go up and down on CNBC.

When I asked him what he had planned for the rest of the day, he responded...

"Oh, well Scott is supposed to come over at 2. He was going to digitize my address book so I could keep better track of it."

...So...Scott has your address book.

"Ooh. Yeah! Yeah he does!"

...So...I don't need to be looking for it anymore?

He Had a Good Laugh About This One For a While

Driving around town...

"Hey! Einstein Bagels!"

Have you ever seen that before?

"Not, but they make you smarter. Guaranteed!"

Good for the Body...and the Mind

Recently, Mr. Pitt has really gotten into naturalistic medicine. He's had me purchase a book from Mayo Clinic about natural medicine, he's trying to get off some of his meds, and has gotten some advice from some sort of "medical friend" upstairs in his building.

Today Mr. Pitt told me the latest piece of advice from his "medical friend":

"Well he's got me on this B6, and that's working! I'm gettin' better. He also said something about some sort of grass...What kind, I don't know. But he says it's great for the body."
