The above countdown feels a little more angst-inducing now that it's in the teens. :-)
I'm going to have to keep this one short again. I've been blogging in the mornings before work as I'm having a tough time finding time to blog at night. I'll try to flip-flop it tonight!
The first thing I owe is a thank you list of recent contributors to the donation! We're over $1300 now so it looks like we're going to up the goal to $1750 pretty soon. Maybe we can hit $2000 -- that would be pretty unbelievable. I'll have that list in tonight's entry!
I ran a great five miles tonight. My left ankle felt a little weak at first, but after a mile and a half or so it felt fine. I have a feeling what bothered the ankle is that I was doing the run right after a flag football game -- which tends to be a lot of starting, stopping and changing direction (all tough on the ankles).
For those of you that have become Mariah Carey Dreamlover (our team name -- don't ask) fans, we won our third game in a row. That's three wins...and three shut outs! This one was a 38-0 win. Go Dreamlovers!
The quote I used in today's heading -- "After the final no there comes a yes, and on that yes the fate of the world depends," is one of my favorites. I think Wallace Stevens was trying to demonstrate the importance of persistence. I think that's what this fundraising effort has required.
Sometimes I worry that I'm taking up all of this on people's facebook walls. I'm sure it gets annoying! But -- there are a few things in life that worth being annoying for. :-)
I was recently courting a girl and, when she finally agreed to go on a date with me she said, "You have the persistence of a mosquito!" Maybe that should have been the title of this blog. :-)
