When my phone rings in my office I never know what to expect. It could literally be someone from almost anywhere in the world. It happens regularly. This afternoon my phone rang and I answered. A quiet, young voice asked for me and I replied that they were indeed talking to me. The young caller identified themselves as a grade five student from Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan and asked if they could interview me. I obliged. I had painted the largest mural of my career in Moose Jaw way back in 1990 - before these kids were even born. The mural is now gone, the building torn down some years ago but the kids remembered it fondly as their favorite.
I spoke to the young student for a few moments, and then she passed me on to a second student for a continued interview. The questions were brief. How many murals had I painted in my career? Which one was my favorite? I volunteered a little more information. I assumed they were working on a school report. I'd received many of these types of calls before. But this time I was wrong.
The young girl thanked me for my time and her parting comment made me laugh. They were working on a play that was about me. Famous is a funny thing.

Judging by the number of questions and the short time we were on the phone I think it will only be a one act play... and brief at that. They may not have time to deal with the Chemainus incidents.

Better get that world famous 'domain' we discussed before someone else snags it!
I'll let you know what fame does on the other side of the nutfarm after Saturday. I blogged about my garage sale and it appears I'm going to be meeting 'a few' bloggers... what few means, I have NO idea!

Mel Gibson called yesterday and said that he had heard about this play being done about some guy in Canada and wanted to get the movie rights. At the time I had no idea what he was talking about, so I just took his number and said that I would get back with him. But, now I've lost the number. Oh well...
