One thousand posts and counting

My post last Sunday about the first USA-Canada Olympic hockey game appears to have been my 1000th blog post, according to Blogger's dashboard counter.  I'm not surprised I reached 1000 posts, but I am a little troubled that it took me eight years.  In my defense, I have a job and a semblance of a social life, and often not much to say that I can't put in a tweet (now at 3008 and counting!).

I have been thinking lately about switching from Blogger to Wordpress, though I'm not quite ready to risk losing all 1000 posts in a migration.  But I'm tired of looking at this theme, and there aren't many better choices available through Blogger.  Perhaps the time has come to spend real money on this blog?  I'm not about to give it up; that much is certain.  The blogging will continue until the writing quality improves.

brief vacation report

I'm back in Brooklyn and wrapping up my last day off before returning to work. I've written up a full report on my trip to Block Island, but it's about 2500 words. I'm going to parcel it out over the next few days so as not to overwhelm the reader. Look for the first day's report sometime tomorrow, or whenever I remember to click that "publish" button.
