Well, hopefully, you will also tell us how to fulfill our pledges...I think you told us before, but I've forgotten if we go to the blogathon site or someplace else. Then you're free to walk around the cabin. ;-)

In an effort to help Eric meet his goal for this day, I offer this page at blogathon, wherein the Blogathon people pledge to send not one, but two e-mails.

Perhaps they're waiting the 48-hours for after-the-fact pledges.

Brian's right in his assumption that the Blogathon emails won't go out until the event is "officially" closed, but that occurred yesterday morning. Anyway, you can fulfill your pledge by going to the Midland Fair Havens website and clicking on the "donate" button, which will take you to the MFH JustGive.org donation page (or just click the preceding link).

Or...and perhaps preferably...you can send a check directly to Midland Fair Havens, 2400 Whitmire Blvd, Suite 100, Midland, Texas 79705. Be sure to put "Blogathon 2006" on the check so they can track it properly.

The email that Blogathon will send out will have only the online option listed in it.

Eric - do they prefer a check (getting around, I assume, credit card processing fees, etc)? Cause I'm happy to spend a stamp if it saves them 4%.

Hope you're feeling more rested!

Beth, while they haven't expressed a preference, I assume that for the reason you mentioned they'd prefer a check, although that form of payment has its own set of potential problems.

And I'm starting to feel like my old ornery self again...thanks!
