Some Dreams

I had an amazing thing happen to me this week. I had given my résumé to somebody a few months ago and did a follow-up without much success. It appears that she passed it on to a company and I am having a job interview today.

The lesson I have learned is that if you sit and do nothing, the result will be nothing. If you sow enough seeds, some of them may grow.

So here are some seeds that I am sowing today. They are dreams that I have. If anybody can pass them on to somebody who can then pass them on to people that can make them happen, do it.

∙ I would like to have Loreena McKennitt come to our front porch to have tea. Since she lives in Stratford, which is only a few kilometres up the road, this is quite possible. So if anyone knows her, get her to contact me.

Does anyone know Bryan Adams? I think it would be great for him to do a live concert on the streets of St. Marys. I haven’t the money to pay him. It would have to be something for a charity or somebody would have to sponsor him. Perhaps he could shoot a video here. Our town is really that beautiful. If I can’t get Bryan Adams, Foreigner will do.

∙ St. Marys has a beautiful opera house. Right now it is apartments, and pretty ugly ones at that. I am looking for somebody who has about $10 million dollars to buy the building and restore it back to its original look as an opera house. My thought is to turn it into the Grand Ol’ Opry North, booking some of the top country acts. Possible owners could be Elton John, Paul McCartney or Shania Twain, but any multi-millionaire will do.


That’s about it for now. If anyone can help me with any of these dreams, email me at stevensj5@hotmail.com.
