Hope

I work in a sometimes worthless medium. I don’t like myself or my work sometimes. But today, as America recovers, I’m proud of where I work.

I work for a man (think Peter Graves with an edge) who decided this morning that we weren’t quite doing enough yet. So, with less than an hour’s notice, he mobilized dozens of people and started a fundraising campaign.

In the last six hours, we’ve raised $147,000. There’s word now that one guy is coming here with a $25,000 check. That will push it up over $170,000 with at least three hours to go in the campaign.

In the grand scheme of things that amount may be a fraction of a fraction of the need. But it is something.

And something is something I didn’t feel we had yesterday.
