Year Two

March 22, 2008 | Filed Under Main |

Well… It’s a birthday.

I started this blog one year ago today. Just to talk with folks and write about what was in my head. Who knew where we’d be today? A year ago, oil was only $65 per barrel, gas was $2.50 a gallon and Bear Stearns still existed (and I hope none of my friends from the boat were hurt in that meltdown). If you had told me a year ago I would be working in the Kuwait, I would have laughed my ass off. And, surprisingly, we actually have a historic presidential race going on in the States. I hope it stays that way. I can’t vote between two old hacks again.

I want to thank my sister for setting me up out here on one of the Inter-Webs many pipes. One of the cool things about this site is that – on the back end – I can see how many people visit and from where. So I need to send a shout out to everyone who is stopping by from Canada, France, Sweden and the Netherlands. You are nearly a third of my readers!

So – welcome. Drop a line. I hope you keep reading. The coming year looks to be interesting from every angle.

    I can’t believe it’s been a year. Geez that went fast.

    I predict a very entertaining next year.

    And I said I’d never check your blog to see what you’re up to! But here I am. Happy Easter and keep writing.

    Now…Is a blog year the same as a regular human year, or is it 7 years like dog years, or something in between? Anyway, hope everything is well and stop working so much!

    More like a Teenager Year - where at any given moment you are either a grownup or “just a kid, Mom” and it seems like it will never get better.

    Hey Carl- I have really enjoyed reading your blog- just found out about it around the time you left for Kuwait. One more loyal reader. Stay safe, and thanks for keeping us informed and entertained!

    Hi Kristin!
    Thanks for checking in. Of course, my goal is to entertain. :-)

    nice work carl. enjoying catching up with what you’re listening to and thinking about. looking forward to seeing you when you visit. and about those bear stearns guys, just one (i think) you know and he’s doing OK. i should have streamed DJ Hot Dog’s gig at bella’s for you - i know you would have enjoyed it.
