Bow. Stutter. Fumble. Start.

(Hold your breath. Easy now. Do this slowly. Don’t make any sudden clichés.)

It’s been a year (dammit, there you go). I’ve actually kept up this blogging thing up for a year. It started out as … I’m not exactly sure what it started out as. But I do know that I didn’t see it lasting this long.

Somehow, miraculously, it has.

Even more miraculously, so have I.

And perhaps most surprising of all, so have you.

You’ve read, critiqued, loved and told me you’ve loved (which is really what it’s all about, when you get down to it).

So, first task at hand, acknowledgement where due.

To Jerry then, for giving me the idea of having a blog.

To Archer, for being a demanding reader and general Mr.Fixit guy.

To Koltrain and Madusa, for being effusive in praise and silent in criticism.

To 32cats and Tanmay for dropping by and dropping lines.

To Anonymous and Deftone for all the detailed feedback.

And to Gyuri, Meanjari and all the rest who visited, read, commented, linked and came back for more. Thank you.

And Happy Birthday.
