milestone no. 2

Half-way there! Thanks to the latest batch of donors. Despite the invigorating 50% mark on my widget, I'm technically at around 49-point-something percent online -- perhaps the internet is becoming a half-full kinda place -- but I've received a few checks in recent days so, either way, the scale has tipped and a bend rounded. To that end, props and gratitude to Lee Gillette, Toby Fulwiler, Michelle Montgomery, Patti Daniels, Jill and Lance, Judy, Kyle & Bryce, Sara Lorimer, Peggy Lamb and John Bellwoar, Robin B., Barbara E., Laura D'Onofrio, and Anonymous!
