Uh, What's That?

Say What?

So there I was, resting on my...

(If you haven't figured this out yet, go here.)

...when I realized that today is a new day. It doesn't matter what you did yesterday, you can't sit back and expect I Encompass and I Eclipse to keep bringing in the readers forever. Or can I?

No, no, no, that's not right. To paraphrase the pResident, "I didn't build that." I need something new. And I'm still in a goofy mood, the serious shtick is something I really need to work at, goofy is doing "what comes naturally". Uh oh, I feel a musical interlude coming on...

(No need to cover your ears Buck, it's not bagpipe music.)

Though my dear Pa would argue that that was worse, much worse. You may gather that my late Father was not a big Beatles fan. You would be correct in that assessment.

So by now you may be wondering if there is an actual "point" to this post. Nope, this is pretty much a "pointless post". If you don't read this one your life will pretty much go on the same as if Chant du Départ had never existed. Of course, that may be true even if you do read today's ramblings. I leave the philosophical debates to those better qualified.

But after seeing this...

...I realized I needed to do something to sustain the momentum. Yesterday and today were very good days by Old AF Sarge standards. (A "standard" good day is when my regulars read the blog.) Of regular readers I have but a few, but they are a hardy lot. Mind you this is the bunch which will comment from time to time, so I may have missed one or two of you.

What's that? * Pointing to the chap with his hand raised *

Yes, you DO actually have to comment on the blog to get mentioned.

Uh, Sarge, what the Hell was that all about? Oh, let me clarify, I'm about to actually list the folks who read my blog and actually (from time to time) leave comments. To get a mention you only need to have commented once. I am defining these folks as my established "readership". Oh, if you HAVE commented and don't see your nom de plume here, leave me a comment (heh). So here we go, in no particular order: (Well, except I DID list my daughter, the Nuke, first, intentionally.)

Wow. Not even I knew there were this many. But that's what my gnomes tell me after digging through the blog archives. Such as they are.

I'll be back, hopefully soon, with, as blog-buddy Suldog likes to say "with more better stuff." (At least I hope, as Suldog's stuff is always good.)
