Okay, it’s Friday afternoon, when most news sites post the news they don’t want to post while heading out the door.
I am probably headed out the door at some point to pick the big bag of prescriptions that awaits me at Rite-Aid, but then I’m coming right back to monitor what will probably be a quiet weekend ahead of the World Junior Championship’s start on August 9th…
And, as much as I hate to do this, it’s time to start fundraising for several reasons:
- I have to renew my website by the end of the month, and everything comes out to be about $400 for the various Bluehost subscriptions and the Jetpack plug-in;
- It’s also time to start getting ready for training camp and the prospect tournament. I’ve scheduled my hotel reservations for September 14th to 28th, and they are…expensive…as is everything in this financial landscape, as I’m certain you already know. It’s going to be a long slough to try and raise everything necessary to make the cut financially…
- And, in the interim, there are bills that need to be paid.
So, while I’m not a fan of requesting financial help, this is still a blog without ads and a blog without commercials, so I will need your assistance to get through the month, frankly, never mind head up to Traverse City.
This is just the way things are right now, and while it’s a warm, muggy weekend in August here in Southeastern Michigan and Southwestern Oakland County, the news cycle is about to take a jump forward with the WJC going on, and it’s going to continue from there.
