Lucky’s Lucky 7th: Favorite Posts

Checking this morning I’ve written over 8,000 blog posts in the past seven years.


That’s an average of three posts per day, and well over 12 million words. We won’t even talk about the comments and emails, but, yeah, my life outside this blog is every bit as exciting as you'd expect based on those numbers. ;)


If I had to pick a favorite post, I’m not sure I could. I have some favorite memories, and some days that were especially fun. but it’s somewhat like picking a favorite child.
