One month. 34 posts. 2,300 hits.

Today marks one month of this blog. It's been a fun, interesting 31 days. I’ve reconnected with people I haven’t talked to in years — in some cases, the (now) adult children of friends. I've met other bloggers, and have a good time reading their posts and commenting back and forth. There are some wonderfully weird, creative, entertaining folks writing out there.

It’s great having a forum for indulging in my obsessions (just five R.E.M.-centric posts?). Blogging is now a daily habit I look forward to. And the cherry on top: reading your comments.

Take a moment to click on the map at the end of my links section. The red dots show where my 2,300 hits have been clicked. Across the U.S. (including Alaska), scattered across Europe, parts of the Middle East and India, South America, even Down Under. I’m glad I’m writing deep, meaningful posts for the world to read.

Pretty cool, huh?
