Looking back at my first post it appears that tomorrow marks three years of blogging at theSpoke. Whilel I have since started other blogs this is where it (blogging) all started for me. I continue to enjoy the company of this web site. I feel like I have made real friends through blogging at theSpoke. Thanks so much to all of you who read, write comments, link to me from your blogs, send email messages and other wise make yourselves a welcome part of my life.

BTW when I wrote that first blog I had just returned from Seattle. Today as I write this I am in Seattle again though I will travel to Austin TX tomorrow. Amazing how that works out doesn't it.
