My Day by Pete (four stars) I got an early start this morning! At 5:00 a.m., someone knocked on our door. My wife Helyn, being the cautious type, prepared the 9mm pistol while I answered the knock. It was the lady from across the street. Helyn had given her a copy of her recently completed screenplay to read. It's a tale set in 12th century France, about a young girl ( a pagan) who falls in love with a prince (a Christian); a metaphor of how the Roman Catholic Church erased the other religions in France (and everywhere else in Europe). The Woman from Across the Street was in tears. She came in, sat down, and explained to Helyn that she had been upset by the screenplay and was worried that Helyn had moved to the Dark Side (she didn't call it the Dark Side, I can't recall what she called it). Then, in the middle of the night, she had been awakened by God, who told her to go across the street and make sure that Helyn knew that she (Helyn) was flirting with the Evil One and needed to get straight and so on. She was crying all through this. Helyn thanked her and explained that it was only a story. She felt better and went home. Young Luke was awake by this time and failed to return to dreamland. I went to work and had a good day. When I arrived home, Helyn had Wonderful News! She has had this script under scrutiny by some Big People and one of them had written back saying that the screenplay needed some minor fix-up, but that it was "phenomenal". This particular Big Person is directly connected to a Big Agent at a Very Big Agency!! We were ecstatic about this news, since Helyn does not curently have an agent and has never sold a screenplay. We decided to go out to dinner, even though we are economizing greatly. We were standing in line for a table when behind walks in: *Randy "Macho Man"* Savage and his Main Squeeze!** (the Macho Man is one of the most famous professional wrestlers in the world). Needless to say, I was my usual cool self, but I wanted young Luke to have the pleasure of meeting the Macho Man in person. I introduced myself, the Macho Man was cordial, (actually a very very cool guy!) his Main Squeeze complimented young Luke on his cuteness, and the Macho Man said, "How ya doin' there Luke?" in his Very Famous Macho Man Voice! I thanked the Macho Man and we all sat down and had dinner, the family sat right next to the Macho Man and the Main Squeeze (who sat in the back corner and were only bothered 3 times by autograph hunters). So, meeting the Macho Man was most excellent, but not the high point of the day! Nifty, eh?
