It’s my birthday!

Well, not mine. It’s Nutwood Junction’s birthday!

Well, it’s not the actual day; I’m two days late.

But we’ll just go with celebrating (or lamenting, as the case may be for some) today, okay?

It’s hard to believe it’s been five years. I’ve made a lot of friends along the way, and I’m happy to say that I think the enemies have been few. I remember a few memorable occasions when the friends clashed with the enemies, in a battle of epic proportions. I’ll never forget Dan’s line “I’ll cut him so bad he’ll wish I didn’t cut him so bad.” Classic!

Just like Led Zeppelin, good times, bad times, you know I’ve had my share. I’ll never forget the incredible support you all gave me when my Dad passed away. It helped more than you could ever know. I’ve made lasting friends here, and on the occasions that I’ve gotten to meet some of you in real life, it’s been a fun and positive experience (more to come...stay tuned!).

Readers have come and readers have gone; I don’t update as often as I used to; but I’m still standin’, and I plan on being around for many more years of rants, missives, and general mayhem...as long as some of you keep reading. Thank you for liking what I have to say enough to stick around.

I’ll keep writing if you keep reading. Deal? Deal!
