Today I discussed my plan with a very wealthy long time family friend. He expressed about as much enthusiasm as he might have had I told him that I was clipping my nails.
Lesson: Just because he isn't excited doesn't mean it's not a great idea. I can't expect everybody to be enthused about this. But I believe Hashem is "psyched up" [kivi'yachol kivi'yachol if it's muttar to say such a thing] about this.
And that's what really matters.
