Down to the wire...

Jon: We managed to sell three more stories this morning, just two days
before leaving for Brazil.

It is great news, of course. We can use the work and also, it's for a new
client show we've never worked with before.

The problem, of course, is that it is going to be hard to get interview
subjects lined up before we go. Mostly, the existing interviews will work
for this new story, but still, it makes me anxious to not have all these
people lined up.

Claes has reminded me, however, that we have a really good record of landing
these interviews on the road. The really good news is that so many of the
other interviews and requests for assistance in each place we are going
seems to be falling into place. Carolina has been a godsend. She's set up
a number of interviews and has been persistent in reaching people whom we
were unable to reach.

Two of the interview subjects we've been pursuing for a couple of weeks now
have actually confirmed appointments. Whew...

I don't want to mention names at this juncture, but they will become clear
in future dispatches.

Now to get a bit of sleep...we have 20+ hours of flights ahead of us.
