I almost forgot to mention that today, February 17, marks this blog’s first birthday. It was one year ago today that I unveiled this site to the world and put up the first several posts.

So, happy birthday to … me, I guess!

And more important, thanks to all of you for hanging around and putting up with my (somewhat too sporadic) outpouring of miscellany and disorder. I hope you found the first year interesting and occasionally worthwhile. It’s been a fun journey so far, and I’m very glad to have you by my side.
