Happy 6th Anniversary to Me!

On January 5th, 2003 this blog was born.

Aside from that 1st year, no year has been more of a struggle for this blog than 2008.

186,886 visitors have stopped by in that time, and I currently average about a 100 a day.

Thank you, each and every one of you, from those who stay a few secods, to those who stay for hours, and take the time to explore all that I have to offer, in posts, and links to resources.

Your interest, whether you are regulars, or newcommers, means a lot to me.

While there is a link in my sidebar to the best of the 1st 5 years of posts I want to now share links to what I think were the best of my offerings for 2008:
