Today marks the first anniversary of this blog. I started it because I like to write and thought that the discipline of putting some ideas down almost every day in a short-ish and occasionally amusing way would be a good habit to have. I had no idea if anyone would read it (I still am a bit surprised that you do...), but I wanted to respect anyone who did take the time to make time for "Original Face."
Thus far I have written 360 posts, mostly on some political, theological, current news or sports topic but on some days I have scribbled musings or quoted poetry by which I was provoked. Almost always I looked forward to the late evening when the world gets quiet and I can turn to the blog.
So....Thank you, dear readers, for your comments, compliments (yes, I promise to keep up the poetry) and the more than occasional brickbats that have come my way. Please do keep the feedback coming. It makes (well, most of the time) my day.
And yes, to those of you who have asked, thinking of the headlines is my favorite part of writing the blog.

Congratulations!
