Photodisc, Paramount Pictures Hi hon, it’s your mom. How’s everything going? I hope you and Gordon aren’t still fighting. Well, anyway...Last night, your father and I went to see that new movie out called The Iron Men. Obviously, not my cup of coffee in the morning but Don really wanted to see it for some reason and getting him out of the house on a weeknight happens about as frequently as a phone call from your brother. So, I took the opportunity. We had a pretty good dinner at the Sizzler. Not my choice either but it was right there next to the movie theater in the mall and, well, you know your father. He’d eat a hubcap if it came with a side of ranch dressing. I had a chicken Caesar. It was just OK. I had a little heartburn last night, but I don't know if it was from the salad or something else. Well, it was a pretty good movie anyway. You know who was in it was that actress, she’s tall and thin and, oh, I can’t remember her name but she had red hair just like you used to in this one. I wish you’d put your hair back to its natural color. You always had such beautiful hair as a child. Everybody thought so. Well, anyway...in the movie the main guy, who I also know I’ve seen somewhere before, he makes a robot that he can fly around in and punch up some bad guys. Pretty cool! I bet Gord would love it. Well, your dad fell asleep about two-thirds in and if the movie wasn’t so loud I’m sure there would have been a LOT of complaints because he was snoring, of course, and you know what that sounds like. I guess I’ve gotten used to it now...I hardly even notice it anymore. Well, anyway...lotsa love to you and Gord. Oh, and when are you going to send me pictures of the new puppy? I want to see him! OK, write back or call or just come visit even, but if you do, promise that you'll bring that little doggers with you, all right?
Love,
Your Mom
