I　gave　back　the　money　about　six　weeks　ago；　but　the　incident　is　still　making　waves　in　my　life。　Actually；　I'm　a　bit　taken　aback　by　the　effects　that　senseless　deposit　is　having　on　my　life。
　
I　have　been　alerted　by　many　Interneters　that　the　second　round　of　headlines　appeared　in　many　newspapers　with　a　photo　of　myself　and　the　keys。　These　stories　prompted　more　radio　interviews；　and　requests　continue　to　come　in。
　
Recently　the　Donahue　show　called　to　invite　me　on　as　a　guest。　I　agreed；　and　in　the　midst　of　my　five…week　speaking　tour；　they　flew　me　out　to　New　York　for　a　taping。　I　was　quite　exciting　to　meet　Phil　Donahue；　the　man　who'd　started　the　talk　show　and　who'd　been　doing　it　longer　than　anyone　else。
　
　
The　strangest　thing　to　result　from　all　of　this　is　a　guest　reporter　role　on　Hard　Copy。　Hard　Copy　liked　the　two　segments　I　did　for　them　about　the　check　so　much　that　they　offered　me　the　opportunity　to　do　more　stories　for　them。　They　asked　me　to　go　on　other　adventures；　or　expose　other　absurditiesand　I　could　do　so　knowing　they　would　run　on　Hard　Copy。　They　had　in　mind　three　to　six　of　these　segments；　and　they　wanted　to　tape　them　as　soon　as　possible。
