But I've really enjoyed it, and many of you kind readers have encouraged me enough to keep it going.\r\n\r\n<p>\r\nIn the past year this blog has seen 81 posts and 281 comments (including 109 responses from me). I browsed the list this morning to get a sense of the different topics and types of posts.
