Post #100. Not bad for a year and three months, however I know many other bloggers hit that number every other month. So, if you've been around since the beginning, I thank you for sticking with me. If you are a new reader, thanks for checking this out. And… if you are a random web searcher who stumbled in—sorry to waste your time.
I decided to change the look around a bit— fresh things up. And since this is a milestone, I offer some of my favorite posts. Let's stroll down memory lane:
