My status: I am sick, fighting a cold, but heartened by the actions of some very nice people.

Thanks to some very generous donations over the weekend, I am now effectively 3/4 of the way toward the $2,300 minimum I need to raise in order to enter the Tampa Bay Breast Cancer 3-Day. I'd like to raise a lot more than $2,300, of course, but my initial goal is set at $2,300 because, frankly, I know people are a bit more reluctant to donate when you're sitting there with this huge goal that their donation will barely affect. Once you're within a few hundred dollars of a goal, donations tend to come fast and furious. Not that I'm not grateful for each and every dollar donated, no matter when it comes in.

I still owe y'all a silly video of me sprinting around the local park made up with whipped cream, chocolate sauce, sprinkles, and a cherry -- but unfortunately, there've been barriers to it happening. Valentine's Day was the day I meant to do the video but Carole reminded me we wouldn't make it home at all that day because of her Gospelfest concert; we didn't get home until very late. And the next weekend had me in Georgia all weekend. And this past weekend I was sick -- I did venture out to do a low-speed short-distance training walk around the local mall, but regretted it later because I really needed to rest, rest, rest so I'd be healthy on Monday. Turns out I wasn't on the mend, as I thought I was -- I was just between one bout of feeling like death and another one that set in later on Saturday. Right now I should be driving to Boston because I've got to be onsite at a customer for three days, Tuesday through Thursday, but I still feel weak as a kitten. I'm not sneezing or coughing, but I certainly don't have my strength back. Blasted cold. Nonetheless, I will do that video for DC and Heather, and I'm very grateful for your support.

Thank you all, again, for helping fight breast cancer. If anyone reading this would like to donate, parenthetically, the link is http://www.the3day.org/goto/jayfurr -- and, as always, thank you!
