Three years, 1298 posts, boy are my fingers tired!

May 24, 2007 — Samuel David Cheney, the sixth grandchild of Vice President Dick Cheney, was born at Sibley Hospital in Washington; The Yankees beat the Red Sox 8-3; Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End, the third movie in the popular Disney series, starring Johnny Depp and Orlando Bloom, made its silver screen debut; Tommy Chong celebrated his 69^th birthday; 17-year-old Jordan Sparks won American Idol; and...

An obscure middle-aged software engineer cobbled together some Perl scripts on a Vaxstation 4000-60 and WyBlog went live at 4:56 PM.

He got 22 hits that first day, twenty-one of which were from him hitting the "refresh" button...

The other hit was probably a bot.

But perserverence paid off. Now he gets hundreds of bots hitting his blog! And as it turned out, more than a few very nice folks, too.

So thank you for your patronage. Three years is an eternity in the blogosphere and I appreciate all of you who stop by, and keep coming back, to read my ramblings. Writing this blog is a heckuva lot of fun, and more importantly it keeps me sane, and just may have saved my marriage (here's to my long suffering wife who rarely if ever reads what I write but is eternally grateful that I'm no longer ranting at her every night of the week).

The best is yet to come folks.

Onward and upward! Together with my friends in the ether we will take back our country. There's too much at stake and failure is not an option.

La guerre, la guerre, toujours la guerre!

Or more pithily, Wolverines!
