Last week I was flipping thru the channels on my much used TV set and came across the ABC news program, Nightline.  I don't watch this show, ever, but I stopped because one of my favorite Food Network Stars was on.  Mario Batali was talking at a table and I heard him say this before the segment ended, and I switched channel again.  I quote, "I've stubbled across my theory in the last 2 years, that really all discord in the human race is based on two things:  YOU EITHER NEED A NAP OR YOUR HUNGRY!"

I really loved this statment.  I totally agree with this theory of his.  I also thought that maybe that is what is wrong with the ABC excutives and all the Powers That Be, in charge of programming for all the big three networks.  I mean they all live in L.A. and we all know most people that live in L.A. don't eat much.  So this theory totally fits, in my opinion, October Road could be saved if all TPTB at ABC/Disney took a nap and ate something.

As for us and our fight, we are not stopping.  We have had such a great week.  We have sent letters, emails, & phone calles to ABC/Disney this week.  We have had a record number of people join our Yahoo Group page this week.  So maybe we should start sending food and pillows.  They could eat a nice little snack and lay on their nice couches for a nap after they eat.  Then they could wake up refreshed and see how stupid they are being.

I sent four new DVD's out in to the world this week.  Two went to an office my mother use to work at.  I have been told that one of the women I gifted it to, she is planning on passing it around the rest of the office.  She wants to start her own mini campaign to save October Road.  My oldest sister Ganel, who has just finished her job as Editor and Chief of a woman's magazine, just got the DVD I sent her.  She called me a couple hours ago to ask me a question.  First, she had never even heard of October Road until I started talking about it to her.  So last week she said, "When am I going to get my DVD?", I sent her one straight from amazon.  She got it this week, and watched 1 & 1/2 episodes today.  She says she "LOVES IT!".  I asked if she was just saying that to be nice, she said she really does love it!  She had a great question for me.  So we chatted about it for a minute or two.  So the "PAY OCTOBER ROAD FORWARD" campaign totally works!  I have proof of it this week.

This show could really catch fire if ABC excutives just took Mario Batali's advice to take a nap & eat something!

End of Rant!
