Last night, in preparation for a project, I compiled the last six month of the blog into an editable file. I was astonished to discover that in six months I had produced a one-megabyte file. (Now this includes headers, graphics, and other useless detailia--but still.)
So I felt I owed those long-suffering readers a real hardy thank you for enduring with me through all of that prose. I know that there aren't very many of you--however, you are hale, hearty and stalwart spirits to be able to endure so long under such a burden. So my thanks for your patience, kindness, and frequent communication and support. It is only by writing that one learns how to write, and with your help, I hope that I am honing such skills as I have.
