"It's just that Oregonians aren't used to seeing people walking around with a gun on their hip. We're going to change that.I am not really looking forward to this.Get used to it, Mike. I was shocked when I saw a guy at PetSmart with a gun stuffed into his jeans waistband. What was more shocking was that no one else in the store, including the manager, saw anything wrong with it. Thank goodness we do not have that problem here. I would not like it.

I hadn't seen that yet. I actually met Rupert because I was one of the people who bought one of the 10,000 initial copies of Widescreen and I wrote him a fan letter. He called me. At the time I thought it was because of my delightful letter, but I learned later it was because he couldn't figure out how a girl in a little town in Iowa got a copy of Widescreen. Anyway, that was when we started writing, later met him, not long after he had done his work on A Star is Born...and we became friends. It's amazing to me that we are still good friends 36 years later, but we are and I am very thankful for that.
Actually we had two copies. My sister brought one home from college and I ordered one through my local record store
Then I picked up a package which has this new book called Better Nate Than Ever - which has gotten some raves on amazon, about a young boy who runs away to audition for a musical version of ET on Broadway. I'm not going to read it, since I don't read fiction when I'm writing it, but while the first sentence is cute and perky, I found it wrong for a young boy. Nitpicking, of course, but it sounds more like an author than a character of the first person. Of course, Benjamin Kritzer was a precocious ten-year-old in the first book, but there's nothing he says that's really out of the ordinary, and it's not written in the first person anyway. I also found ET a little Outside the Box-ish. But I'm sure it's a fun book.
I have some cucumber salad, and maybeI'll have the slice of pizza in the freezer.
No gym for me tonight. I am gonna go home and collapse in front of the tv and watch some of the stuff accumulating on the DVR.
