The Peters Came To Boston.

Mom & Dad came to visit us in Boston this week & we had a blast. If you’re friends with them on “the Facebook,” as Mom says, then you must check out the pictures. In particular the Harvard visit. I don’t know if I’ve ever laughed so hard in my life as when we posted those pictures. Just kidding, I do know, & I have laughed harder, but not many times. Anyway, it was so good to get a taste of home. They brought me BBQ & made me sweet tea & no-bake cookies. It was a really uplifting week for Brooklynne & I both. If anyone else from Little Rock wants to come up here before the summer is out, then do it. We can’t get enough of you folks! It is so good to spend time with family & friends.

“He’s a Pooka”

Steven Spielberg announced today that his next film will be a remake of one of my favorite movies! He’s remaking Harvey, a classic Jimmy Stewart movie from 1950. They haven’t set any sort of release timeline for it yet. I’m excited although I must say I don’t know why in the world you’d want to remake that movie. It’s just so wonderful the way it is. I also don’t know who in the world he’s gonna find to play Elwood P. Dowd a lick better than Jimmy Stewart. I can’t wait to see what he does with it! This quote from the movie has become my mantra for the past couple of years (thanks to my mom). I hope that you can glean some wisdom for the day from it.

“In this life you must be oh so smart or oh so pleasant. Well, I was smart for years. I recommend pleasant.”

-Elwood P. Dowd
