Well, I'm awake. I have a huge mug-o-caffeine to slurp and I am so doing.
When I got up there was a nice formal letter for me from the Museum I've been talking to. It was a polite 'Thanks, but no thanks'. Still, I'm (strangely) not discouraged. The fact that I sent 1 letter and got a nibble of interest (even if they eventually declined) tells me my approach isn't insane. Now I just need to find a few dozen other Museums to make the same pitch to. We'll see if any of THEM take the bait.
