This Blog Now Has Six Digits

...and for that, I thank you. From the guys at the Jester who made me realize there are intelligent people out there, to SoccerDad who showed me the existence of the J-blogosphere and gave me my first link, to Shoshana and PsychoToddler for showing me there are positive, inspiring, and funny people in that sphere, to DovBear and the others whose links sent people here, to the Wall Street Journal for asking to publish one of my posts, and to all the others whose blogs and opinions I've come to enjoy and respect, even when I disagree - thank you all.

It's been wonderful - and iyH will continue to be. Have a great Shabbos, everybody!

Mazel Tov to my dear friend Dovid and his wife Katie on the birth of a baby boy! They're having the shalom zachar tonight, and I know Dovid wants to me to put up those Erev Shabbos videos, so if he's going to be checking this blog at all right now, it will be today.

Yet another suitor for our Elianna! :)
