Q: Where can I write to Ronny Howard? I think he’s neat.

Q: I’m in love with Sajid Khan, the TV star of “Maya”. He is so groovy looking, I might die of love before I finish this letter.

My time right now is seven minutes before eleven and your time is six minutes before eleven. Everyone goes by a slightly different time, anyway. Mike bought us all watches and he’s always checking watches for the time. We all get synchronized and then Micky will say “…but that’s our time,” but it’s not other peoples’.

A word here about all the traveling: It’s very complicated, and for the purposes of the official schedule, there was a personnel code which listed us under our Code Numbers rather than our names–making scheduling easier. Micky was given number 1, Peter had number 2, Mike had number 3, Davy had number 4, and I had number 10.

Ann: Do you try and fill each day with constructive activities?

Peter: Can’t help it. Just because of the way I feel, which is–you can’t do anything but constructive activities.

Ann: What if you just wanted to lay around the house all day?

Peter: If that’s the way I felt, if that’s where the minute of the life led me, beautiful. Then it’s constructive. I needed it. Why does a baby sleep a lot? Because it needs the sleep. Everything is constructive.
