That reminds me of that "5-year Plan" thing. Just think if your plan was for only 2 years! :D

Congratulations! 8-)

Hey Mike, very cool!! Congrats!! There's nothing like the first placement for building the confidence! Plus it's fun!!

It took me 3 or 4 years to get going as well, it's a slow road at first. I like to say I'm in year 6 of my 5 year plan. It just keeps rolling!

Here's to many more placements!!!

Thanks everyone!!!

By doing a little research, I have learned that Monsters and Mysteries in Alaska was a Discovery Channel special that debuted in March 2010. I believe that throughout 2010 it was replayed a few times. From what i could find May, August and maybe September. I am excited about that!! I'll know more when my full SOCAN statement comes out on Feb.14.

Cheers,
MIKE
