FOOLS RUSH IN

I've managed to postpone things with Collingwood Management until I confer with Chris Tougas, who arrives back from Banff tomorrow night.  Not only has he generated some fantastic leads while pitching in the Rockies, but he seems to think a quick flip through the rolodex will provide a producer or two who may offer a similar deal as the one I was considering but without this deferred payment clause.  A little 'good-faith money', as it were.

Collingwood was comfortable with this arrangement so I'm proceding with Chris, giving him a few weeks to generate some bites with 'LUCIDITY', chase down the 'DYNAMO' leads he's generated this week in Alberta and pass off the 'DOWN UNDER' treatment to a colleague of his at National Geographic Kids.

Meanwhile, first round cuts with the Nicholls Fellowship Competition begin in about a month.  So many cookie jars, not enough hands…
