Post #500!!!

When I started this blog back just 2 years, 2 months, 2 weeks, and 2 days ago, I had no idea I would find myself writing post #500 so soon.

I want to thank all of you for following, reading, commenting, lurking, or whatever it is you do that feeds the spirit of this blog. I know there are more than just the 152 of you following via blogger, and I want you to know your patronage does not go unappreciated.

I was going to get into a whole "State of the Union" thing here, but I really don't want to detract from my appreciation, so I'll save all that for a new year's post, or individual posts over the next few weeks, and just tell you that I'm proud to be a part of such a cool circle of folks that provide a mutual appreciation, admiration, and support of one another.

Thanks!
