October 24, 2012 - Thank you

Yesterday, this blog celebrated its 1 year anniversary.  I started this blog in order to post events that might be of interest to locals and visitors and also to try and stay productive while being out of work.  I'm obviously not a writer and should have paid closer attention in school, but this blog and my Twitter account have far exceeded my expectations as far as views and followers.  As I type this message, there have been 110,222 views for this blog and 18,127 followers on Twitter.

I want to thank all of you!  Thank you for your support, visits, retweets and kind messages that always lift my spirits.  I've met some kind folks, many of which I consider friends.  I don't like to dwell on the negative, but your messages and friendship mean a lot to me, as it's often easy to lose hope.

As silly as this is, it takes up a lot of time.  If I'm ever employed again, it might be difficult to find time to post events, but I'd like to always continue blogging and tweeting in some capacity.  Thanks again, everyone!  Love and appreciation for all of you.

   All the best,
   Casey
