this is my 2001st diary at daily kos. The statistics will show it as 1999, but I deleted 2.
It has been an interesting 7+ years. I posted my first diary in January of 2004.
I first came to the site in November of 2003, when I was in NH to help advance an event for Howard Dean, and someone showed me the site. I did not register until mid-December. Then at one point someone suggested that I turn a comment I had posted into a diary. I was so dense I did not realize I could post diaries of my own. Go figure.
Some of what I posted was a waste of time and pixels, but by and large I am satistified with the body of my work here. There are even some diaries of which I am rightly proud.
It is summer break, and in theory I should have more time now for posting, yet I find myself less inclined. Still, if I go a couple of days without posting, it does not mean I am abandoning the site, either via GBCW or TTFN.
This community is now an essential part of my life. I thank all who take the time to read what I write, even when it is not all that useful.
Peace.
