Milestone

If my blog were a sitcom there would be a great celebration today with flowing champagne and a Grammy award winning band playing the theme song.  Someone would take a picture of the cast members standing behind a huge cake with the number 100 on it somewhere in bright buttercream marking the 100^th episode.  Everyone would be smiling and excited because the 100^th episode generally means syndication and steady royalty checks.

But my blog is not a sitcom so this 100^th installment does not merit a great celebration.  There are no bands playing in my honor, or magnums of champagne or even a cake.  There are certainly no royalty checks to rely on to supplement my future income.  

Like my old favorite sitcom, my blog is basically a story about nothing, and my attempt to make nothing into something someone else may enjoy reading.  I’ve used this space, now for the 100^th time, to express views, share memories and offer a glimpse of how I see myself.  

I hope my short musings have not been a waste of your time.  I do not think them a waste of mine.  My Fluffy cat, who at this moment is lying across my arm in an expression of total possessiveness, wishes I would write more because when I write I’m still and she can have me to herself for a few minutes.    

I’m sure I will continue to share here.  One hundred does not mean the end, it’s just a historical marker on the side of the road of my journey on this side of life.  I hope you will stop now and then to read the markers.  They are there for a reason, weren’t you knowing it?
