Dear Friends,
Hello from California. This is going to be a short one. I’ll fill y’all in on the shows and such tomorrow. I’m sure I’ll have a lot to say, but instead, let’s get a little bit of the Bet. Happy October, too. Best month of the year.

It was the day of their big scene. Friday was nervous, but Aidan had been so nice to her. They were well beyond her calling him “Mr. Mann” anymore. He had kissed her with a passion that made her dizzy the day before in rehearsal. Friday didn’t know if he was acting or into her.
Friday’s phone rang just after 5AM.
“Yes, mother.”
“How did you know it was me, dear?” asked an exasperated sounding Janet Evans.
“You’re the only one who calls me at this hour.”
“Well, I know it is a big day for you and…”
Friday cut her off. She had a feeling that her mother had been asking around about the movie. Most likely, Janet called Dirk. Friday kind of hated that her parents loved Dirk, but everyone did. Hell, she thought, Dirk probably called her mom. You never knew with those two.
“You’re a damn spy, mom.”
“I just play one on TV,” Janet retorted. It was true, too. Janet had been a recurring character on the hit CBS show, Sally Bond, which was a spoof of the popular James Bond films. Janet had even helped get the show on the air by promising to appear in at least five episodes the first season.
“It’s way too early for this, mother. What do you want?”
“I just wanted to see if you were okay about this. It is your first sex scene, honey.”
“Mom, you know I’m not a virgin, right?”
Janet knew Friday was not a virgin. She had known for a long time, actually. Friday was not shy about sharing things with her mom and after Friday and her first serious boyfriend, Arthur, had done the deed, the first person she had told was her mother.
The next person who knew was Dr. Klein as Friday was put on the pill immediately. Freddy Adams’ daughter could make him a grandpa just yet and Janet Ryan was NOT going to be a grandmother. Maybe ever.
“I know, Friday. I know. Love scenes are not like that, anyway. Do you know how many people will be watching? Do you know what to do if he gets hard?”
“Yes, mother. I know that lots of people will be watching. I bet some of them just want to see my tits, too. Do you think he’ll get hard?”
“They all get hard, dear.”
“What do I do?”
“Just talk about it beforehand. That should stop it. Aidan’s a pro, too, so you shouldn’t have to worry about anything. He’ll probably tell the director to cut if he gets too excited. I’ve heard he’s pretty well-endowed,” said Janet.
“MOM!”
“Sorry, dear. Break a leg! Love you!”
And with that, she was gone.
Friday figured there was no going back to sleep, so she got out of bed and headed for the shower. She didn’t have to be on set for another three hours, but what else was she going to do? Shower time, it was.

See you tomorrow.
2018. Wonder if I will ever play PRB again?
