Honored

I tend not to talk too much about hit counts or Ecosystem rankings, because frankly I think it's a pretty self-absorbed thing to do. Today was a big day for this site though, as it was added to Kevin Drum's blogroll. This means a lot to me not because it signifies some status or popularity, but because Kevin's site has been a daily read for me since before I began this blog. As such, there's a certain coming of age aspect to it. This blog really has worked out for me. I've been able to stay committed to it and have been rewarded with a wonderful creative outlet and participation from readership and guest bloggers that keeps me intellectually stimulated on a daily basis. Thanks to all those that have visited even once, but especially to those who keep coming back and make this blog an important aspect of my intellectual life.
