Revenge is best left to Karma instead.

Hi Steve,

I hope your week has been going well.  Everybody on the east coast is looking for that scrawny double-crossing liar, Pawtuxney Phil (the groundhog who predicted spring would be here long before now), because we got more SNOW last night.  Sigh.  I'm so ready for winter to be DONE.  I want to get outside and make our back porch all nice and cozy, and clear out a jungle-ridden garden area near our front door to make it a nice, plain but pretty spot for our new rocking swing with shade overhead, and potted plants all around.  I gotta find a nice bird bath too.  I have wooden "white picket fence" pieces that are short, also, which will probably get put there too.  But I can't DO any of it when the temperature is in the 20's!!! GAAAAA!!

Ah well, anyway....I have to run a couple errands but here's the scoop of poop for the day:

Journey's Neal Schon Sues Ex-Mother-in-Law

BY ASSOCIATED PRESS / BILLBOARD STAFF

Neal Schon, the lead guitarist for the rock band Journey, has filed a federal lawsuit in Minneapolis that accuses his former mother-in-law of libeling him in her blog posts.

The musician says Judy Kozan, the former mayor of Waseca, has "attacked and harassed" him for years through Internet postings and comments in the media. Schon's lawsuit says Kozan suggested that he has failed to support his ex-wife and their two daughters.

"I have never called him a deadbeat dad, and I have never accused him of not making his payments. He makes them religiously," Kozan told the STAR TRIBUNE on Tuesday morning. "I don't have money for an attorney so I dont know how Im supposed to deal with this. Is he thinking hell take my Social Security checks?"

The lawsuit references a Hennepin County family court judge who determined that Schon has exceeded his required payments to his ex-wife, Amber Schon, and their children.

Kozan denies ever mentioning Schon or her daughter in her blog postings. She blames The Daily Mail, a British tabloid, for incorrectly concluding in a February report that she considered her former son-in-law a deadbeat dad.

In their story based on supposed blog postings by Kazan, the Mail said that the former mayor accused Schon of leaving his ex with no money to even buy food for their two daughters.

Kazan told the StarTribune that she had never spoken to the tabloid, adding, "I'd never even heard of the Daily Mail until this story hit."

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Now, I say that woman is either living under a ROCK---come on, who hasn't heard of that tabloid?!---or she's just making up another lie.  But, as I wrote to Neal in response, "Don't waste your time or energy on taking this woman to court, to get blood out of a turnip. You have a wedding to plan, a tour to focus on, a new solo album to promote, so why settle for revenge that won't get you anywhere when you've already been vindicated by a judge, and everyone already knows that she's the bad guy---let it go.  Rise above it all, and let karma take over.  If she does it again, put her in jail.  Otherwise, let it go and move on with life."

I don't know if those words will sink in though.  I just think he's being petty about it, and vindictive, and doesn't need to be.  Maybe he thrives on drama, and crisis, I don't know.  Seems to me that life has much more meaning when you don't focus on those things.

Well, I have to go for now. Have a great Thursday and a nice weekend.  Pete is taking me on a surprise overnight getaway Saturday....I have a feeling I know where he's taking me, but I'll let him surprise me without spoiling it.  I am lucky to have a man who is good to me most of the time, and I'll never take that for granted.  He's the only one I've known that has truly been good to me.

Of course, YOU have been awesome with that voice of yours, living in my life as background comfort zone music all my life....so for that, I thank you kindly, and I wish you love and happiness forever. SMOOCH!!  (And all the nooky you can handle). hehehehe

Bye for now.

Love, Rebecca
