I Can't Wait For Summer!

Hi Babe!

I've been sitting here for the last 10 minutes, watching the sun's reflection on the water in my swimming pool and I realized that I can hardly stand it...I'm practically dying for summer to get here!

Oh, for the past few weeks I wasn't certain that I'd rather not just die. "Brides" being cancelled and all hit me pretty hard. I haven't smiled much recently - until about 10 minutes ago - when suddenly I realized that the world hasn't stopped, I'm certainly versatile enough to go on with my life even without "Brides" and best of all, summer's just about here!

FAVORITE TIME - Summer's my favorite time of year. I can lay by my pool for hours and block out everything else. I'm sort of a sun-worshipper, I guess. I can lay on a towel and toast my body until I feel like...well, just like a piece of toast. I love it!

Then too, I get to see you! I'll be out touring across the country and seeing all sorts of towns that are very different from big, hot L.A. and different from each other too.

I'm hopping I get to talk to you for a long time. I'm not planning on rushing so fast this time around. I want to spend some time with you and find out what you think about the world, about you, about me, about love and life and practically everything!

DON'T BE SHY - If you get a chance, I really want you to come up and introduce yourself and tell me about you and your family and how you spend your summers. I didn't know for certain 'til just now, when I thought about it, that I've missed you...really MISSED you.

Now I don't mean for you to run up to me this summer and tear off a piece of my shirt - or maybe my arm - but I'd sure like you to say "Hi!"

You're probably as excited about summer coming as I am. I remember when I was in school, from about April on the time just dragged along. I'd start counting off the days until summer vacation while at the same time, I'd be wondering about, and sometimes dreading my report card.

OFF TO THE BEACH - Then I'd pick out a pair of jeans to cut off and use as a swim suit and the day school let out, I'd tear off to the beach. Of course, when I got there, it would be cloudy and cold and the rest of June would stay that way. Just my luck.

But now this year. I'm over my depression about "Brides," I think, and I'm just waiting for good, hot, swimming pool weather.

I might even have a groovy surprise for you...like maybe I'll see you more than you think...but I'm sworn to secrecy over the whole thing and so I can't tell you. But the instant I can say what might happen, I'll let you know.

Until then, I'm going to try and keep my spirits up. It's a drag when something depresses me so much that I don't feel like working or recording or even laying around.

Drop me a note if you have time...I'll certainly have time to read it and maybe answer it too. I'm trying to keep myself busy until summer's right on top of me. Then I'll be sunny all the time!

'Til we're together, babe, stay cool and remember,

I love you,
Bobby
