BLOGIVERSARY, EPISODE THREE

Yes, indeed, you read that correctly. Today marks three years since I started blogging. Here's where I said hello to the blogosphere. It's interesting to look back to April 18, 2007, where I celebrated the end of year one, noting that I had just started my then-new job and how I wasn't sure how things would change. And as many of you may recall, of course, things did change drastically, as I noted last April 18, the only post of the entire month! On that sad day I observed that in Year One I posted 560 times, versus only 94 times in year two. I was not being falsely dramatic was I said that I wasn't sure what Year Three would bring.

Well, as those of reading are aware, the financial crisis and the government's response has really reinvigorated me in a way I couldn't have foreseen. 134 posts in Year Three. Lately I've even gone back to posting daily. We'll have to see how that continues; work is set to get very busy again.

Anyhow, I want to express how thankful I am that a regular core of readers actually comes by every day to see what I have to say, often taking part in what has become an exceptionally enlightening give-and-take in the comments. Here's to one more year.

And, as a side note, I see that on Day Three of Year One (April 20, 2006), I had my first post about the economy, banking, interest rates, inflation, and that sort of thing. Only two comments to that one. And one was mine.
