Hey Charles

Here is something I meant to tell you a while back. It should make your day

Last December I received a phone call and was invited to participate in a "Media Survey". They wouldn't elaborate on exactly what the survey was about or who was initiating it, but with the promise of a light meal and a $60 appreciation payment for participating, I decided, what the heck and I agreed.

The survey didn't take place on the phone. We met in a meeting room in the building across from the Police Station on Queen St. We were broken up into groups of 10 or 12 people and put in a separate room to sit around a board table. The survey was given by a nice young woman asking questions and consisted of us writing down our answers then elaborating on our answers through group discussions.

We were only minutes into the survey when it became obvious to all of us that this survey was being initiated by the Irving Company, because the questions revolved around newspapers. with a big emphasis on the Daily Gleaner and the Telegraph Journal. But here is the part I thought you would be interested in.....

We were asked to write down a list of places we would go to, to find current local news. Then we read our lists aloud. When I read my list which began with, "Charles' Blog" www.charlesotherpersonality.blogspot.com , most of the other participants said "Oh ya, I forgot to put that one down!" and they added it to their list. Well the funny part was when the woman conducting the survey, who, I should add was not from New Brunswick, got a confused look on her face and asked, "What's that??" We then explained to her about your Blog and we continued to discuss your blog for a bit while she was taking notes about it.

I got a good chuckle over this and I thought you might too!!

Have a nice day!
