Everyone say hello to my new friend!
His name is WordPress, and I’m desprately begging him to be nicer to my blog than that OTHER meanie “friend” Blogger.

Visitors
A few weeks ago, I noticed that my little site meter down there was nine hundred and something. I was all excited about approaching 1,000 visitors. I had thoughts of making up a really witty post to celebrate that one thousandth visitor.
Then…. life arrived on the doorstep of my daydreams, pounding with its usual demands [...]
