Feelin' good.  It's a great fuckin' day for rock and roll!  Ha ha...

Started off with a nice long workout.  Then lunch with Art, a little football talk.  As in how much of my money it's gonna take for me to buy a piece of the Falcons.  Still working on it, but I think it's all gonna come together.  Hopefully soon.  That cash is burning a hole in my pocket, ha ha.

Actually got to sit around on my ass for awhile this afternoon.  Laid out by the pool for about an hour and a half, just soaking up the sun and resting these tired old bones.  Gotta work on my tan, nobody wants to see a pasty-white, saggy-assed old Rock Star, ha ha.

Talked to Cate while I was chilling by the pool.  This morning they did the White House tour.  Jess was unimpressed.  I laughed--the kid has gone fucking bowling in the White House, so I didn't really expect him to be too awed by the nickel tour.  Cate did score some major cool points and perk up his interest a little, though.

Turns out one of the Secret Service supervisors on duty today is an old pal of Cate's.  When he saw her they immediately did what cops do, launched into that "how's so-and-so" and "did you hear about?" stuff.   While the kids did the official tour Cate badged her way back into Bill's office and they set up a kinda impromptu "behind the scenes with the Secret Service" thing for the class.  They all thought it was pretty awesome, especially Jess.  Suddenly he has the coolest Stepmom on the planet, ha ha.

When Cate called they were at the Spy Museum, the kids were watching a film.  She said Jess and a couple of his buddies have been talking her ear off at the museum, asking her about all the exhibits and what kind of "spooky spy stuff" she used to do.  And she overheard Jess telling one of the girls that his Stepmom is "Kick-ass."

She got a little choked up when she told me that.  She said she's never heard Jesse call her "Stepmom" before.   Always just her name or "Dad's Wife."  I could hear in her voice just how happy she is.

So now they're probably still at the museum, tonight they're going to see the National Symphony Orchestra at the Kennedy Center.  Cate's pretty excited about that; it's a Pops performance with Jon Secada and Tito Puente Jr. on percussion.  She actually said she's looking forward to spending the evening with a couple Hot Cubanos, ha ha.  Tico will get a laugh out of that.

As for me, gotta go crank out some good ol' rock and roll, Jersey Style.  My contribution to the cultural arts,  ha ha.

Then maybe later tonight, when the show's done and it's past curfew in DC and Cate's all alone in her hotel room and all fired up from her evening out with sexy Latin men banging around on things, I'll give her a call and croon a little "Let it Roll, Baby Roll... All Night Long."

A little private performance we can both enjoy.  Heh heh.
