I just noticed that the last post made 500 posts on my blog! This is 501 which strikes me as oddly appropriate given the new directions I am moving in. I am also at 495 comments – so close! so I invite everyone to drop me some comment love to make it 501 comments for 501 posts!
thanks everyone for making this blog such a success 🙂
