500,000 and counting

If you had told me on September 6, 2010, that I'd be writing this today, I wouldn't have believed it.

First of all, I had just clicked "Publish" on my very first post and had no idea how blogging really worked. Second, I had the weird feeling most new bloggers get that somehow the post was going to float around in cyberspace forever and never be read.

But, most of all, I had no idea that what I was posting about would interest anyone but me...or that I knew enough about mid-century design to be able to keep a blog going.

Thanks to all my readers, the regular and the occasional, I'm not only celebrating my birthday today, but I'm also celebrating 500,000 hits. That may not be a big deal to the sites that get 500,000 in a single day, but it's a big deal to me, and I want you to know how much I appreciate your loyalty and support. I couldn't have asked for a nicer gift! So I'll give a little back to you...
