I rarely check the Blog Stats, but did so today and thought I would share them.

As of today: 22,121 total views ( since blog inception in Feb. of 2009).

444 Followers.

Thanks to all who have visited my blog the past 8 years.

I owe a debt of gratitude for the encouragement of my wife for getting this project off the ground and to a friend, Deb, who sadly passed away two months before I launched the blog. 

Best regards!
