Five years
By my calculations today is the fifth anniversary of this blog. I certainly didn’t anticipate this place lasting that long, or me blogging for that long, but there you go. I started this place in order to write more, and I think the plan worked. While I am sure that my blogging will remain sporadic and I’ll have lulls and sabbaticals from time to time I doubt I could ever completely stop writing here. It is too much fun. And a big part of that fun is knowing that I am writing to a small, but perfectly formed, audience. So, a huge thank you to everyone who has read something here/commented/subscribed over the years. I really appreciate it.
