Eighty-five and done.
Fittingly, I posted 109 entries last year; this year, I did one less per hour, finishing at 85. It wasn’t out of fatigue, but rather the reverse; I posted last year largely in a desire to stay awake. The Diet Mountain Dew that I bought around midnight on my drive home from the Granades’ still has a little bit in it; I never did open the large bag of sunflower seeds that I bought to chew to help me stay awake. [That's my secret to the midnight drives.]
I want to thank everyone who pledged to sponsor me in the 2006 Blogathon; over $1850 was pledged to support Blood:Water Mission. That is awesome. It is an honor to be a bit player in being a conduit to helping fund B:WM. If you still want to sponsor me, you may continue to do so, at least for the next 24-36 hours. [I looked to see when the cut-off point was, but I couldn't find it.]
Now, if you will excuse me, I must go run to get some food and to head off to choir. If you’re of the praying type, prayers would be appreciated that I remain coherent for the next eight to nine hours. 
[If you're curious, this is a three-fold increase in sponsorship from last year. Whoa.]
Congratulations on finishing out strong!
Don’t push too hard today and make sure to catch a nap between sessions at church.
