Yes, I’m still (mostly) on a holiday hiatus–and unlike my other blogs, this blog is never a weekend poster–but as a follow up to yesterday’s post about my entering the Livestrong Challenge in Philadelphia, I have to say that I am grateful, honored, humbled, and awed by the response.

Within the first 24 hours of my entering, my buddies online and in real life (you know who you are, and I love you dearly) already have put me over the $400 mark in fundraising; that’s without hitting the people I work with yet (with one exception, just because he follows me on Twitter too).

Of course, more would be appreciated, but any amount helps, and I cannot express just how amazed I am by the generosity of people–including you readers out there–even in these difficult times.
