i got a very good phone call a few days ago.

the US tv series "i survived" is doing an aussie version.

my lost at sea story 4 years ago with a crc trailer made the cut.

i am getting a few grand on the 19th august for an hours work.

this will just covers my next adventure to
PNG for a few weeks diving with my adventurous friends on september 2nd.

just great timing for me as bankruptcy is looming and the banks are shall we say are very demanding.

i plan to work hard for a few weeks to keep the vultures away.

just grateful to be here, to be well enough to work and have some fun.

if your watching tv one day with a camera, diving crc story its probably mine.

i asked the producer if i can give my crc warning, they said yes.
hugs,
pete

    remember my post about the smartest organ being the rectum which is analagous to the butt.
    well if your the butt , in my books then it implies you are the smartest here.
    no movie star, but still 20 mintes on tv is fun.
    i am in go company.

    Terrific story of survivorship. I guess I really never got to understand how you got your name until I saw the story - it all makes sense now. I must have been dozing that day and missed it.

    NBC did a nice piece.

    our crc does not define us, butt it tries
    thanks craig,

    our crc is like the tip of the iceberg, here we share the iceberg tips mostly.
    behind each and every one of us are amazing stories, often untold.

    it was not really my choice, but fate and the media meant that some of my tale was told.

    another day, how great.

    will i get a mention in the book, you gotta mention milk thistle.

    hugs,

    did the interview got the cheque and the crc message in
    wife got dressed up, we picked the kids up from school and i was in makeup at 12.30pm

    i think it went well, they gave me the cheque.

    the kids and wife were spoilt , enjoyed hotel food at the sebel which is real media / entertainers hangout.

    it was just an amazing experience and good therapy for the family.

    the producer treated us to dinner at the the hotel, he was really supportive and seemed happy.

    i won't hold my breathe for the movie deal.

    to get another crc story into the mainstream media was a as satisfying as the first time.

    hugs,
    pete
