Hi Wendy,

Whew. I think we finally got two messages, at least, successfully posted. Well, the first day at Omaha Beach was pretty rough, too. But remember, they went on to take Berlin.

Do you think that Bernadette Peters will wear Miss Piggy's "Moi" on opening night? And do you think they will eliminate the funny but politically incorrect song about "Like those Indians, I'm an Indian too, a Sioux, ooh ooh"? Do you know Bernadette Peters? I've always wanted to meet her. Maybe you and I and Bernadette could go to the Rothko show on Friday, in a taxi cab?

I still want to know your thoughts about Tom and Sally.

Yrs,

Stephen
