Project Remake

Greetings from Alberta!

It's beautiful as you can see and we are loving the winter. Jimmy really loves to race around in the snow! We are settled and I am meeting more and more people. I will get right to it. Looking at the last blog, and seeing the stats from Mininova makes me excited! Here are today's stats: 39,458 from 172 countries. It's been gaining momentum and with the new project, it will gain even more.

As many people know. I lived without water for 13 of the last 16 years, so water has always been an important issue for me. Back in the spring, an idea popped into my head and as much as I resisted it, I am now fully committed to it. Here I go again! I have no idea how or when, but my mission is to get the movie re-made with stars, and have profits go to non-profit organizations that fight the Global Water Crisis.

Restaurants depend very heavily on water and I believe it's a perfect fit. Look into Peter Wentz and the UNICEF "Tap Water Project". I also believe there are issues in the world today that are being addressed, and being more benevolent to our fellow human being is one of them. From the research I've been doing, the time is right for a "benefit movie" and I am going to see this through even if I have gray hair and glasses when it happens! From what I am seeing with both the decrease in giving because of the hard times that abound around the world (oh I am sad about my dear Ireland) and the movement about treatment to servers (go to "I'm your server, not your servant" on Facebook) I know the time is NOW! What a concept. Go to a movie--something you already do- and help fellow human beings without dipping into your pocket for additional giving.

That's it for today. OK. Let's do it!

Back in Canada

Greetings from the Great White North! Actually Spring is trying to make its way here so things are turning green.

It's been quite a while since I have blogged. One reason is because I have been without a computer for a long time, but now have one again so I might be here more often. Another reason is because I have been getting myself settled here in Canada. I was born here and spent time in Ontario- the Province of my birth and where most of my family lives- but then had to get back to the west where my heart is and has been for many years. It's been in the mountains in Colorado and now is near the beautiful Canadian Rockies. I had a chance to live in British Columbia in the mountains, but opted for a small cow town south of Calgary. I see the whole expanse of the mountain range from afar and it's pretty impressive. Just another experience to have under the ol' belt of life.

I have been away from the movie for a long time as I let it go out on its own. It has done well actually. Remember the Mininova thing--the free download? Well the movie has been downloaded over 28,000 times in 167 countries in the world! I didn't even know there WERE 167 countries! There are 195 or 203 depending on the source you get the info. So wow! Loads of people around the world are seeing the movie. My hope is that they are learning from it and treating restaurant people with more respect and politeness!

Ok anyone who might be reading this.....have a great day!
