SLiM: Thank you Dear Readers

Something odd has happened here at the blog. No, it’s not the fact that someone actually listened to me and commented “read your post” unless if I whispered in their ear “You havta comment…”. It’s not the fact that I got more than 4 comments on a post. It’s not even one of my delightful siblings deciding “hmm… I’m bored. I know! I’ll post on the blog that I’m supposed to be posting on for the past 3 months!” No, it’s something reassuring.

1,000 hits! That’s 1,000 divided by four months of blogging, equals an average of 250 hits per month. 62(and a half; but really, why do those graphs say 45.2 out of 50 Chinese don’t blah blah blah…?) per week! 9 a day!! Once every 3 hours!!!

So, you see, my blog is read quite commonly. Granted, that is an average, and yes, I do check at least once a day to see if anyone commented, but yeah, it is great.

No baseball player has gotten an average of a home run once every 3 hours. I, on the other hand, have.

Now yes, it would be reassuring to see if you would all comment “read your post,” but I feel better already.

I expect another 1,000 comments by the end of February, but until then, keep checking.

I’m definitely not going to be happy until that average is at 2,000, and maybe then we can throw a party for my readers. So keep checking, and hope there’s still some gold somewhere in California for me.
