I just woke Claudia up. Pushed the computer to hide its bright light behind a pillow and as it slid it squeeked loudly. I&#8221;ve been sneaking around since four trying to set up and log on to the internet here in the San Fran Marriot and I just got to my blog and typed &#8220;Its&#8221; one handed when I knew it was no good. &#8220;What time is it?&#8221; she asked.<\/p>\n<p>She just rolled over to the other side of the bed to hide from the glare shining over the pillow.<\/p>\n<p>I was with our hosts all day flying much of it and mostly incommunicado. I got a couple calls from a reporter from KBJR asking about the release I sent out this morning. &#8220;Yup.,&#8221; I told him. &#8220;We&#8217;ve raised $33,000.&#8221; I made a couple of calls to our new man with the keys to the PO Box to ask him what he&#8217;d found in the box today &#8211; now yesterday &#8211; but he was at the School Board meeting. I went to bed clueless.<\/p>\n<p>The first word I&#8217;ve gotten about what&#8217;s happening in Duluth was <a href=\"http:\/\/www.duluthnewstribune.com\/event\/article\/id\/123590\">this story<\/a> from the Trib. It was a news alert in my email. My press release bore fruit. Now the Trib readers know our opportunity and our plight. I must say the first three comments from readers warmed my heart. They were very put out. <\/p>\n<p>Oh, this is painful. I&#8217;m hunched over in an ergonomic catatsrophe peering over my glasses. I hate this tiny keyboard my grandson would love but which my finger strokes rain down on like quarter sized hail. I&#8217;ve have, as per usual, accidentally hit the arrow keys a half dozen times already which takes my typing to the unexpected places those errant key strikes send them. I&#8217;ll hit three or four letters and find them showing up in some word I typed a few paragraphs earlier. So, to limit that I type at a slothut  like rate b&#8230;..there I did it again.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m simply going to have to beg my reader&#8217;s indulgence.
