Some time over the last few days, my counter for this site hit 10,000.
Damn, wish I'd known who the 10,000th person was - I would have tried to insert one of those annoying pop-ups with a notification and balloons and everything, offering them a prize (I do have one One Hand Screaming t-shirt left and did want to save giving it away for a real special occasion)
But in all seriousness, I should be thanking each and every person who is visiting or has visited this web space. I started doing this whole online journal thing back in March 2005 after some prompting by my buddy Mathew Growden.
I've not only done my best to keep in practice writing -- writing begets more writing, after all, but I've resynced up with some old pals and workmates and also "met" some wonderful people from all over the world, and it hasn't even been a year. I'm now getting an average of over 50 unique visitors to my blog-site every day. So either this blog is a mis-step on a path to porn browsing, or perhaps, just perhaps, people out there enjoy reading things that I'm writing (A man can dream, can't he?)
Thanks for visiting, for being a reader. As I've said before, a reader is the best gift a person can give a writer -- thanks so much for giving that to me. I'm honoured.
(Okay, gotta go now, I'm starting to get all misty eyed - the theme song for "The Golden Girls" is starting to play in the back of my head. That's just not a good thing)

Is this the site for Canadian girls in snow? No oh I see, oh words, what are they, ah yes it is coming back to me, and yes we do like your writing, and who else has a racoon blog!
It's the internet. Everything except porn is a mistep to porn browsing. Congrats.
fun stuff. i've enjoyed your blog since i found it. congrats on hitting 10K
Congrats on your milestone! It's very wild to think of strangers hitting our writing on this www thing... and then having them come back again? Weird...
Woohoo!
It's a pleasure to visit your blog! I admit to inflating your numbers. It's great to have your blog and others to visit when I'm sick of STUPID paperwork and need a mental injection of intelligence and humour.
I just come to laugh at someone with a stranger sense of humor than mine. ;) Besides, anyone with a son named Alex can't be all bad. *grin*
Aww, congrats!
It because you keep us so entertained with your great posts ... and really I think that you will soon gain world wide fame of phenomenal proportions for the HNT Darth Tater serial!
Congrats!!! and that is wonderful news...You make us all want to come back time after time...and just an FYI - I always show up as being the "American Visitor" ...so if you are wondering who keeps haunting you every day from the States...Tis I :)
Thank you for making us laugh, cry, reminisce, and share in your life experiences (your life and those of your loved ones), and your wonderful talented words...
It is your readers whom must thank you for making your site such a wonderful pleasure and indulgence.
