I headed to California with plans to make fund raising calls. I put them all off. This is supposed to be a vacation. I figured my time was best spent keeping track of what was happening and reporting it here so as to prevent a lack of information from sowing fear and paranoia.  I&#8217;ve kept careful track of the dollars raised and who else needs talking to. I&#8217;ve got a long list of people to call. Other than blogging and checking up on phone traffic I&#8217;ve had that vacation. It would have been a dirty trick to our hosts and to Claudia to have saddled them with my constant communication back home. <\/p>\n<p>I found a substitute to read the news for me on Monday at Lighthouse for the Blind&#8217;s radio show. That required asking my daughter to find the list of volunteer readers and phone back their phone numbers so I could find a replacement. I had lots of people in Duluth doing things like that in my absence. Remote organizing is a challenge. <\/p>\n<p>I found a replacement and now I&#8217;ve got all of Monday and Tuesday morning to polish of the $100,000. With a little bit of help we&#8217;ll get it done.<\/p>\n<p>Now for some coffee and my long trip home.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Mysteriously absent from my blog reports over the past week have been my portion of the tally for donations.
