This is just a quick note to recognize that today, October 26, 2025 is the official 20th anniversary of this blog. My first post (a list of driving music) appeared on October 26, 2005. Back then, the blog was on LiveJournal, but it was just a few years later that I migrated it to WordPress, which I have been using ever since.
In the year last 20 years, I've written more than 7,300 posts, seen my nearly 2 million people and totaling nearly 4 million views.
The blog serves as a kind of parallel journal of my life over the last 20 years. Of all of the writing I've done, writing for the blog is my favorite. Perhaps that is because of the wonderful readers that I have, always kind, even when correcting many infelicities in my writing, always engaging.
So on this 20th anniversary, I send a big THANK YOU out to all of my readers over the years. You are the best a writer could hope for!
