I passed my 1500th post some time ago with hardly a lower case yay (I have a partner, Susan the Computer Wizard, so it's nigh impossible to determine how many were written by her and especially by me).<BR/><BR/>It's real easy to not get excited by milestones when your blog is dying by slow degrees and you can't even maintain a four figure a day hit count, let alone the five figures a day I was getting a year ago.<BR/><BR/>But here in Castle Driftglass, it's a legitimate milestone, so here's to the next 1500.jurassicporkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01673461210301442978noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11363027.post-9391614317257533102008-05-02T12:15:00.000-05:002008-05-02T12:15:00.000-05:00Congrats Driftglass!

I remember when your superbly apt and comedic comments in the threads prompted cries of "you should get your own blog. Why don't you?" And you hemmed and hawed (for good and practical reasons I'm sure) and then Steve just put his hand on your shoulder and said, "Son, it's time to move out." Of course he offered to help find you a place and move your stuff, because that's what he's like.<BR/><BR/>All the best Drifty,<BR/><BR/>Joe FranticAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11363027.post-41485988534877996122008-05-01T08:05:00.000-05:002008-05-01T08:05:00.000-05:00Read driftglass First!You've taken the boss design...<B>Read driftglass First!</B><BR/><BR/>You've taken the <I>boss</I> designation from Chicago politics and made it your own in the blog-o-sphere.
