    I did it

    Registered for NAC E, I just hope there are enough Chair fencers for an event.

    Boy, Fundraising is not easy. I have 125 contacts out with three nos so far. So if you have some extra cash laying around go to http://apps.facebook.com/causes/414247 and we'll take it. (he said baldly asking for money)

    One place had me apply for a grant on line and it responded with a "no" within 10 minutes. Things really are tough out there.

    I've had brain surgery, what's your excuse?

    Welcome to my world, this is what I do day in and day out. I generally think that one out of four grant proposals, to new funders, will not succeed. Even with proper groundwork.

    I am by no means a grant writer, but I think I crafted an OK letter. I figure if I send enough letters out we"ll cash in (no pun intended) somewhere. I have reservations for the chair camp in Phoenix and I mailed in my registration and have some of the reservations for Dallas.

    Now, If I had a ride to fence before then. I do 100 lunges a day, but just got so despondent today.
