#30 July 18: E-mail lookup – 1 hour 30 minutes

Not really a whole lot to update you on this Saturday evening, other than that I continue to search and update to the best of my ability the information on the e-mail lists from the Communication and Fundraising in Sport course. I hesitate to liken the process to finding a needle in a haystack but some of these people are pretty hard to find. There are only so many ways I can describe sitting at a laptop and looking up information. I find it pretty fascinating myself and could do it all day long but I also see where others would be completely bored by it. To each their own, I say.

In fact, as I am sure many people are finding out during this pandemic, finding real experiences is a challenge working virtually. Yes, I have my weekly meetings with the group via Zoom but that also involves sitting in front of a laptop and discussing what needs to be done. The most interesting aspect of those is Dr. Tiell getting in a round of golf and Liston preparing for a campaign event as he runs for City Council of Fort Myers, Fla. Regardless of the circumstances, we still manage to be productive in our hour or so together. Beyond that, however, there is not a whole lot more I can say about those meetings. My work is also largely independent, there is nobody to coach or manage. Just me, my trusty laptop, and sometimes the gang on Zoom. It is a challenge, but I do enjoy it.
