Seventy-Two Months? Seriously?

Back on the 22nd of March, in the Year of Our Lord Two-thousand and Twelve, I published my very first blog post. I had no idea where I was going to go with this blogging thing, still don't, not really, it's a day to day thing, whatever grabs my fancy.

Squirrel!

Easily distracted? Moi?

Well, sure. As I was saying, The Chant (as some like to call it) has grown since those early days. First Tuna, then Juvat, and (officially, though she hasn't posted yet) LUSH came on board to assist Your Humble Scribe in his peripatetic efforts to entertain and perhaps educate The Chant's legion of readers*. (How many people in a legion, less than a horde, more than a handful? Don't automatically think Roman legion either.)

But I digress.

So we've been doing this for six years, seventy-two months if you will (which I did). This is the 2,461st post published and while there are a number lying about the studio in "draft" status, many of those will never see the light of day. For various reasons. A couple have seen the light of day but were pulled off the line. One by Blogger as some yahoo claimed I used one of "his pictures." When I asked, "Which one?" the silence was deafening. Another was pulled due to its being a spam magnet.

And yes, want to anger me to nearly unreasonable levels? Use fractured English in your spam comment and make sure you use the word "fastidious," and never use it correctly. But hey, getting spam comments means we're now in the "big time," right?

2,191 days, 2,461 posts. Still going strong. (For certain values of "strong.")

Anyhoo, I'm still having fun with this blogging thing and expect to continue for the foreseeable future.

And you have no one to blame but yourselves.

Er, I mean, thanks!
