Alanis Morissette Saves Local TV!! Maybe! We Hope!

Does anyone know anyone who knows Alanis Morissette? Its a very real possibility that after the CRTC hearing on December 7th, local television may cease to exist. Our beloved 'A' and 'CTV Ottawa' are both in serious danger. But, the good news is that we can help if our voices are heard! www.localtvmatters.com has all the details. Now, back to Alanis. Ottawa's own Alanis Morissette got her 'start' on a show right here on CJOH TV (now CTV Ottawa) called, 'You Can't Do That on Television'. She was the cutest kid, acting out comedy sketches and getting covered in green slime! I think Alanis would be just the right person to shed light on the importance of local tv. So I wrote a song for her. If you know anyone who knows anyone who knows her, can you have her give us a call? Did you go to school with her, jog with her, did you take the bus to Glebe Collegiate with her? I figure with the help of the fantastic BOB FM listeners, we can get Alanis to call us on the phone, at which point I will give her the words to the song, and she can sing them back, over the phone. Simple! She can feel free to change any of the words if she likes. And just for her time, I would like to offer her a token of a $50 gift certificate to the Lone Star. Thank you for helping me find Alanis, who will in turn help to save local television, and enjoy an outing of fajitas as well. Its 'win win', don't you think? my email is mornings@939bobfm.com
oh yeah....here's the song written for Alanis. Hope you like it. thank you very much for your time

So now its time to take a stand
Because we are on a mission

My local tv, my local tv

Mud Lake

Today was an absolutely stellar day! My good friend, photographer Michelle Valberg and I dragged ourselves out of bed at a ridiculously early hour to head out to Mud Lake for some birding. We were rewarded big time! Geese, mallards, herons, a chatty cardinal, and much to our amazement, Michelle and I saw our first ever wood duck. He even posed for our cameras! Best. Day. Ever.

Hi Calypso!

Had a wonderful day yesterday at a sneak preview of the new Calypso Water Park! Stuntman Stu and I donned wetsuits (bit of a challenge in itself) and tried out four of the 30-something water rides, what a blast! Calypso is the LARGEST water park in Canada, opening on June 7, 2010 in the Limoges area - just a quick drive east on the 417! And this is too cool...you can have your fingertips imprinted, so no need to carry cash in your bathing suit! You can pay for refreshments, etc just using your finger! Hmmm... consider the possibilities! You can check it out for yourself at a special Thanksgiving open house, this Saturday thru Monday. (walk thru only, you'll have to wait til June to get wet!) Passes available now for great Christmas gifts! www.calypsopark.com for details.
