Hello everyone from sunny and not so sunny California. I'm with Jenny and she says "A Huge Hello!" back to everyone.

Deeds - Congratulations on your really tough challenge and in losing the weight. My dad had type II and he really struggled with it.

Padraig - sounds like you had a blast! I'm sure we all wish we could be there partying with you. I'd love a pub visit some day.

S&T - I know, never a dull minute with me. All I can say is, I wish I could do normal. Seems every time I go somewhere or do something, things go haywire! I wish I could take credit for it all. Ok, maybe some of it. I do tend to mess up on details from time to time.

Anyway, we postponed my grand appearance at the San Diego Midway Aircraft carrier due to rain. I was going to be holding two flag poles, and Jenny thought, "hmmm, possible lightning and flag poles...maybe not a good plan". I likely would have got lots of publicity though.

Here are some news articles:

Canadian woman shows her spirit for America
By Diane Bell
Union-Tribune Columnist

2:00 a.m. February 3, 200

Patricia Stewart is on a crusade.

She is a Canadian who wants to thank America.

Stewart, 48, a housewife and employment counselor, is spending about $1,000 to fly to Southern California this week to stand on a street corner in Los Angeles and in San Diego holding a sign that says: “Thank you, America, from this Canadian.”

To emphasize her mission, she will be flanked by U.S. and Canadian flags.

In an interview from her home in Cold Lake, Alberta, late last week, Stewart said she grew tired of hearing people denigrate Americans.

“I was especially upset when people in the Middle East were cheering after the attacks on the World Trade Center,” she said.

Stewart wrote down her thoughts on why America is great and how U.S. citizens have aided others under attack during World War I, World War II and more recent conflicts; how we have defended freedom of speech; helped countries around the globe deal with disaster; and engineered advances in technology.

She approached Cliff Simon, a South African-born actor who lives in Los Angeles, whom she met at a seminar. They decided to collaborate and create a four-minute CD, “American Affirmations,” with Simon narrating Stewart's words. Their message was broadcast over American Forces Network, and Stewart said the response from troops was so positive she decided to ramp up her efforts.

Hence, she will stand on a street corner in Los Angeles from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. tomorrow and Friday on Harbor Drive in San Diego, near the Midway Museum, saying, “Thank you” to passers-by.

Stewart's goal is to “tell America that there are lots of things to celebrate about this country, and there are still many people who are not American-born who are thankful that America exists.”

A giant 'thank you' to all Americans
Albertan to spread her message on U. S. street corners

Patricia Stewart says she loves every single American -- and now she's got a plan to show them.

Stewart, who lives in Cold Lake, Alta., plans to stand on a street corner in Los Angeles today and in San Diego on Friday, draped in Canadian and American flags, holding a sign that reads, "Thank you, Americans, from this Canadian."

"Americans have always been the first to go in with disaster relief, they've committed their own people to freeing the world from tyrannical leaders, and still people claim to hate them,"Stewart said of the motivation behind her trip.

"The American people have gotten so much bad press lately that it's time they were made aware that they are still a good nation."

She also hopes to hand out copies of American Affirmations, a CD she produced with Cliff Simon, an actor best known as Ba'al from the Stargate science-fiction TV series.

Kicking off with a booming timpani roll and the sound of a lone trumpeter, the five-minute recording features Simon waxing poetic about American virtues such as democracy and freedom of speech.

Stewart, 46, said the recording isn't intended to change the minds of people who hate America, but more to let Americans know that there are plenty of people who love them.

Cold Lake is about 350 kilometres northeast of Edmonton.

Oh, and Kamala42 is fine and doing well. She's trying to get tickets to the Vancouver con. I hope it works for her.

AG!!! You are such a Rock Star!!! So proud of you!

Yes, I am alive and doin' fine. Being a small business owner was quite "eventful" during the end of 2008....

But, things are on the upswing and I WILL be in Vancouver. I know I will get a ticket...I will "write it into my movie" in the words of Ken Kesey.

I MISS everyone and can't wait to get good and "fan-crazy" with all of you!

Can't wait to see you AG, Miss Jenny, Krisz, Sech, Ana, Sarah, and the WHOLE Daedalus crew...
