HOLY CRAP BATMAN!!! PETE IS IMMORTAL!!!

Hello Stephen, how are you today? I hope you're enjoying the weekend. The weather here is outrageously hot and humid, it rained first thing this morning, as we were setting everything up for our yard sale. Doesn't it figure?? You've probably never had a yard sale before, but lemme tell ya, darlin', you ain't missin' NUTHIN.  Seriously.  It sucks.  I told Pete "NEVER AGAIN," but he says, "Oh we'll probably have another one in September."  I waved at him, "Have FUN with that my friend, I'm busy that day."

Anyway, so we put up these tent-like things in case of rain, (pools of water dripped all over everything, ain't that a hoot)?  So there I was, with a towel, drying everything off on the tables that were underneath the tents, full of STUFF...excess decorative stuff, extra wedding stuff, you name it, we probably had it for sale. From 9 a.m. today until 3 p.m., we sat there in the hot sun, chit-chatting with neighbors we hadn't met yet, who were apparently curious to see what kind of junk we had, and I got sunburnt to a friggin' CRISP.  Dammit.  I can't be in the sun for more than 30 minutes or I just fry.  (Like Florence says, "Just call me CRISCO...why? Because I got a lotta fat in the can!") hehehe

So we ended up selling $150 worth of stuff---and that's all DIRT CHEAP mind you, we didn't price anything with stickers, we just told people a number when they asked how much something was.  Pete sold a dehumidifier that we used at our old house in the basement, for $7 bucks.  We just wanted to be rid of as much stuff as we possibly could.  Still, at the end of the day, we packed up the rest and took it straight to the nearest Goodwill store to donate it.  Now we can see the floor in ONE of our 3 garages!! WOO HOO! (Yeah, I'm being sarcastic, we STILL have too much crap).

But, that was MY day.....what was YOUR day like out there in LA today? I'll bet it was in the mid-50's temperature-wise, and windy...like it was when we were there last summer for our honeymoon!  I had only packed shorts and tank tops and summer clothes...I had NO CLUE that it was FREEZING COLD out there in July!!  (Silly small-town ME).  Crazy man, why the hell do you like that COLD weather?! I know you bought a house in Hawaii, though, so maybe you are enjoying that place instead.  If so, WHERE IS MY INVITATION?!  Dammit man!! I've been to Honolulu once, and LOVED IT.  Promise me you'll invite me someday, even if you don't really mean it.  A little lip service is ok with me!

Ah well, here's some cool news...

Pete is going to be an EXTRA in the new Batman movie, "Magnus Rex," starring Christian Bale. They are filming it here in Pittsburgh, (closing all the streets near Pete's office, which is very annoying), but apparently they have a "Gotham Football Team" in the movie, and guess where they are shooting the scene tomorrow?? At Heinz Stadium!  So they called Pete (who registered to be an extra but didn't get called right away), and told him to be there tomorrow morning at 5 a.m., to work a 12-15 hour day, (YIKES!), and he would be wearing a WINTER COAT the whole time, because the scene is a football game in the SNOW....(despite the 90 degree heat and humidity we're having---Pete is gonna MELT!!) So, he's all excited.  He says, "Maybe they'll let me be the "big dumb fan" who is shirtless and painted the team's colors, and if they want me to shave my head, I'm fine with that!" (He says he's going to die in the heat, but he'll die happy).

So, there goes our plans to paint our master bedroom tomorrow....oh DARN....hehehehe  (I'm sick about that don'tchaknow...NOT).  Our friend Lisa is coming over to help us paint, but alas, I will have some kind of ailment and we'll just have a girl's day of shopping instead, I think.  hehehehehehe  I'm such a stinker...but hey, we'll just fib and tell him that she had a back issue going on or something, and couldn't do much.  Of course, then in the evening, he's going with her to see the Return To Forever (Chick Corea and some other jazz dudes) perform along with Frank Zappa's son doing all of his daddy's music to open. Pete wanted me to go, but I am going to pass, even though it sounds pretty friggin' awesome.  I am just in need of some DOWN TIME, to do NOTHING for awhile.  I am exhausted.

Well, so now Pete is going to be IMMORTAL, ("unless he ends up on the cutting room floor" he says). So, there's that word again, IMMORTAL...(seriously dude, you really should consider that as your new album title)!!  But he'll have a total blast, and will be able to brag to all his kids, and grandkids, and the 20-something's who perform with him in community theater...I told him to tell them he needs a RAISE next time he's in a play----he laughs and says, "Yeah, instead of TWO comp tickets, I want THREE!"

I said, "You're almost as excited as I would be if Steve Perry invited me to be in a porn movie with him!" hehehehehehehehe....well, it's true dammit.  I'd probably faint, but I'd be there!  *BLUSH*

Well, I'll go for now, but I hope you're doing well, and will soon have an album for me to swoon to!! COME ON BUB!! GET BUSY!! I'm DYIN' over here!!  I gotta have me some of that AMAZING sexy voice of yours!!! GIMME GIMME GIMME!!  *SMOOCH*

Love, Rebecca
