I am, as you might guess…

plowing through all the mail that built up during our sojourn at our Hidden Island Redoubt and in the aftermath known as “last week”. (We had a fun time, thank you much, though weather-wise it was the worst trip we’ve ever had. I think I’m going to blame the Iceland volcano). However, even a crappy day at our Hidden Island Redoubt is better than a nice day working so: no complaints.

Anyhow, my pal Dale Alquist, TV Megastar, Executive Producer of Manalive (coming soon in a decade near you!), raconteur and lover of all things Chestertonian, writes:

G.K. Chesterton is 136 years old today, May 29, 2010. Please celebrate by giving a gift to Chesterton Academy.

Our exciting new high school in St. Louis Park, Minnesota, has been blessed with a miraculous a $75,000 challenge grant from Minneapolis entrepreneur Andrew Redleaf (Full story here: http://chestertonacademy.org/news). For every dollar we raise from now until June 15, 2010, he will match it, dollar-for-dollar, up to $75,000. This means we can raise $150,000 for the school.

Here’s the good news: We are half way there! We have raised over $38,000 in just two weeks!! We have just over two weeks to raise the rest of the money.

Please make a donation today and help us meet our goal. Your gift is tax-deductible, and even better, it will be doubled!

Thank you so much, and Happy Birthday, GKC!
