I’ve been blogging away for thirteen years, now. \u00a0I have an average of 600-800 people a day reading this blog – which is about 10 to 20 times more than I’d dreamed about possibly reaching when I started this blog back in 2002.<\/p>\n

I have said this many times in the past; I’d still write every day even if nobody read me, here; writing is just part of what I am and do.<\/p>\n

But every April in recent years I’ve passed the hat for whatever spare change people feel this blog is worth to them, provided they can spare it, and only then. \u00a0Contributions mostly go toward hosting, and a few other little things (and, in some of my past years with more parlous fiscal circumstances, self-preservation; I’m not there, this year, knock wood, and I’m happy for it!)<\/p>\n

So if you enjoy what you read here, and have a buck or two to spare, I’d be much obliged.<\/p>\n
