Picking up my slack

I went to the LDV meeting tonight drained of all energy. The $100,000 I kept insisting to all the skeptics in the group we could raise seemed pretty far out of reach by the time I headed to the meeting. Some of the folks I’ve been trying to track down are making themselves scarce. Maybe its that farce of a story about how expensive and unproductive Plan B is compared to the Red Plan.

Its Dixon’s blue light special. Tell the customers to spend twice as much by telling them it will only cost half as much. That’s the kind of economics which led to 2008’s recession. Keep the economy healthy by spending money you borrowed.

Well, the LDV folks would have none of my defeatism tonight. They have become the believers. We won’t be standing corners holding out tin cups so I can only hope their confidence is borne out. We had $6,500 a few days before I left for San Francisco. Now nine days later we have almost $25,000. It would be a shame to fall short.
