Oops ...


And dontcha know it was eleven years ago the 22nd of this month that this 'ere blog opened for business?

And that once again I missed the date, thinking that it was the 28th.

Why no, no it wasn't.

You'd think it would be something I'd remember ...

But no, no it isn't.

Thanks to all of you readers, commenters, lurkers, and hangars-on. Not to mention Tuna, juvat, Beans, and John Blackshoe.

I won't mention them because they'd want a raise if I did.

What's that?

I did?

Och weel, mebbe next time I'll double their pay. (Yes Beans, I know, zero times anything is still zero, don't tell the others.)

Seriously though, thanks.




Slacker's Editor's Note: Close to being done with editing the book. Anya yet lives. The daffodils are up. The weather actually feels like spring ... Oh yeah, new book in the works, yes, I am insane.

  2. You know, as Mrs. Andrew keeps pointing out, there's this computercameraphone thingy that you can put vital information in, like critical dates for appointments and such. Old people, yeesh...

    Glad you're still here.

  4. Sarge, if it makes you feel any betters, I also manage to forget a blogiverssary every year until the day is almost upon me. It has almost become part of the whole experience. As always, thanks to you and all the Chanters for your efforts.

    (Personally Beans, I would give you a raise, but seeing as how I am not in charge...)

  5. Congratulations Sarge! Your blog is one of my daily must-visits. (A note on computerthingie reminders, one can also put in another reminder a few days early as an alert to mission-critical events with potentially life-threatening consequences like certain birthdays and wedding anniversaries).

    1. Most of my life seems to be on my phone's calendar, just not the blogoversary. Now that's there as well!

    2. My life (and short-term memory) is augmented by post-it notes on my kitchen door where I have to see them. Real important next day things are taped to the doorknob impossible to overlook when opening (and a post-it on the bathroom mirror). Long-term memory is my mundane diary (like when did I last get a haircut?). Not senile, just cautious.

    3. My computer monitor at work is covered with Post-It notes, reminders of things to NOT do.

  7. No pay required. 'Tis an honor and privilege to lend occasional support to Sarge's great home for lost Lexicans and similar scoundrels who show up without the press gang's urging. Sarge and his regulars have taught me a lot, along with some of his pals on the right hand sidebar. This place is variously a good hangout, hiding spot, or place for reflection or entertainment.

Just be polite... that's all I ask. (For Buck)
Can't be nice, go somewhere else...
