Pleased To Meet You

Happy birthday blog.  You’re officially one year old.  Well officially, you were one year old last month.  I’m just a little late with the party.  Your card?  That must have gotten lost in the mail.

So in the year that I’ve been rambling about this and that, I have absolutely no idea who is reading this.  No, that’s not right.  I know that Miss G and Frau Poshizzle stop by.  But who the heck are the rest of you?  I know somebody’s coming here, wordpress tells me so.

See, there’s this stat function that tells me how many visits I get on any given day.  It also tells me whether visits were direct hits (somebody does have us bookmarked!) or if it was the result of a search of some kind.  The oddest string someone has used to get here  was toxic-plants-berries.  Yeah, I don’t get that one either.  Clearly, they took a wrong turn somewhere.

But the thing it doesn’t tell me is who is on the other side of the computer screen.  And I’m dying to know.  So if you’d be so kind as to drop a quick comment and say hello, I’d be much obliged.
