and some interesting things.

Brunei!!!

My final stat is
More Easter Egg Fun (4/16/11) which has had, so far,
94,556 page hits.
Mind-boggling.
and I get a page or more hits every day, still.
wow.
I am flattered,
and humbled
and excited
and awe-struck
and inspired
and....
you get the idea!
And I couldn't do it without all of you readers!
BIG THANKS!
I so enjoy sharing with you all the thoughts that crowd in my brain,
shouting to get out.
You can see, also, why I am so frustrated with the incredible slowness of writing/posting my blog, due to
internet provider speed?
Blogspot speed?
We still haven't been able to pin down the problem.
