500

Benchmarks. Ways to measure your progress. Ways to measure what you have accomplished and what still needs to be accomplished. And, in this case, just awe that I have not been booted from the internet over the course of time I have been writing these.
In some respects, 500 posts does not seem like a lot...especially on days where I have launched into 8 or 10 diatribes over the course of one afternoon. Other times, 500 seems like a lot...and certainly, a lot of topics have been covered...some funny, some sad, some controversial, some that just make you go "huh?"
I have had a lot of fun reading these and reading the responses and hope some amusement and entertainment...and maybe even an occasional bit that was useful or thought provoking. I know there will have been some stuff you agreed with, other you disagreed with, and I hope it was all read in the spirit intended...just me thinking out loud. I LOVE the comments.
So I will keep this one short, 500 seems like a good number, will have to do some thinking whether I want to keep this going and shoot for 1000 or if I want to pack it in here. Lots of change the last couple years, lots more on the horizon...this will require some thought. And some meals consumed with the greatest of all inventions, the Spork. Preferably while receiving a spanking...
