Happy Belated Birthday - Glass Musings!

I was planning on posting this a little bit closer to the actual day when I celebrated one year of writing this blog.  Like everything else this summer, I haven't done much blogging.  This is one of the strangest summers in a long time.  The heat and humidity, along with the raft of thunderstorms and tornadoes have left me in a mood to not do very much.  Thus, I'm two weeks past due in celebrating.  

July 5, 2009 was the first post.  My intent was to post a few times per week.  I posted 66 entries in 52 weeks - actually 54 weeks given the delay.  That works out to 1.2 posts per week.  Far short of the 2 or 3 I planned.  Looking back, I started off pretty good, got some good spurts in, and now have lost steam.  I don't see that coming as a result of not wanting to continue to write about my adventures in glass land, just a reality that I have a lot of things to do.  Glass has taken a back seat since early this spring and thus everything related has fallen by the wayside.  

I plan on writing more in the coming days and weeks.  I know I've said that before, but I have a few unfinished projects that I need to complete.  I have some new blown glass work that I'm pretty happy with as well.  Stay tuned.  

1000 Visitors and Counting.

Wow - I first created this blog on July 20th of last year.  I didn't know if anyone would visit or come back a second time.  I started with Google Analytics from day one to track the reading of this blog.  For the last week or so, I've noticed the number of users creeping up.

This morning marked a milestone for me.  As of today, 1000 different people have visited the site.  Of course, some of these may be the same user coming from different computers.  But this is still a large number and I've very pleased that so many people have cared to see what I have to say.  And that people come back for more - that is even more satisfying.  

I guess I need to post more often.
