You see Amarillo, Gallup, New Mexico, Flagstaff, Arizona. Don’t forget Winona,

As we entered New Mexico the sun was shining brilliantly and we were able to enjoy the awesome New Mexico scenery.

Brody had me singing opera as we cruised down the road. He bet me a buck I could not answer his trivia question on opera. Not only did I know the answer I was able to sing

La Donna e Mobile from Verdi's Rigoletto. and Toreador Song from Carmen.Then he told me some stories about some ex that was a rich widow who would dress him up and drag him to the opera. She finally gave up on him and found a more suitable escort. According to Brody she still kept him around for the old roll in the hay.

It is pretty amazing how much I enjoy Brody's company. After all he is the same age as my grandfather would be. Has to be pushing 60. Somehow I don't picture ol' Brody as a grandfather. Seems he was (is) quite the ladies man out there in Hollywood. Maybe he can teach me a trick or two once we get out there.He told me stories of how he got to travel around the world while shooting his commercials. All expenses paid. Pretty Cool Stuff! He got paid to travel around a be a playboy, what a life! He seems to think I can get a job in the movies, even with my face the way it is. He thinks I can get some bit parts in horror films. Maybe even speak some lines. Why not? They can save money on makeup. Anyway, Brody plans on taking me to see his agent when we get to Hollywood. That would really be cool if I could get a few parts. Might as well get paid for people to stare at me. I'm not really sure what else I would do to support myself. I can't work in a restaurant with this face...all the customers would loose their appetites.

All the talk about meeting Brody's agent has made me anxious to get to LA and see how that goes. We have really stretched this trip out but I don't regret that. I have seen parts of this country I may never have another chance to see. But most of all the time couped up in the car and motel rooms has really given me a chance to get to know Brody. He is really a cool guy and has had a most interesting life to say the least. I hope we will remain close friends once we get to LA.

I still plan on looking up my grandmother and hope to spend some time getting to know her. But the more I am around Brody the closer I feel to him.

 He is like family. I couldn't feel any closer if he actually was my grandfather. It would be so cool to have a grandfather like him.
