9th bloggiversary!

It was 9 years ago today that I started this blog.

And it's been 9 years of blogging every single day — weekends, holidays, never a single day without a post written by me, with never any substitute bloggers taking my place, and an average, in the last year, of 13+ posts a day. I hope you like it. But even if you hate it: Thanks for reading.

I can't say any longer that I'm the only one who's ever posted on the front page of this blog, because a few weeks ago, I authorized my brilliant and trustworthy husband Meade to co-blog. So far, he's done posts pushing the Amazon Associates program, which is the primary way this blog produces income. I hope you enjoy even the Amazon intrusions, especially now that they are laced with Meade-charm.
