Yesterday we passed the milestone of 152,000 visits to (page-views in) this blog, which has been in existence for six and a half years. It took a while to get that last thousand visits, because old age seems to be slowing me down. When I started the blog, I often did two or three posts a day, but now it's usually only one per day. Still, I am gratified that my writing and photography are still of interest to people.
Apart from one-off posts, of which there are a fair number, I post regularly in the Aging Project series, which is now up to forty-five parts, and the Synoptica series, which is now, I believe, up to thirty-eight parts. The most recent post in the Synoptica series was very labor-intensive, and was the longest blog entry I had ever created. Now I have to enter some analysis and commentary, to make it all make sense. There is another lengthy blog entry in the works (about 2,000 words), but I'll let it's subject be a surprise, at least for now.
If anyone would like to contribute to this blog, making it a kind of literary-and-photographic-journal, I think that would be an interesting possibility to explore (this idea just now occurred to me).
As always, thanks to all of you for your continued interest and enthusiasm. Merci, gracias, wadó.
