First post of the New Year
Hey everybody, Happy New Year, and I hope your holidays have been good to you. It’s hard to believe I started out this blog just about a year ago. At the time, I thought I was just going to have a couple of contributors and maybe a few readers. Little did I know what it would turn into just a year later! Big kudos to John T. for taking this thing over and doing such good work with it the last few months. Even though I haven’t been writing much lately, I read everything that comes across here and comment as I can. Everybody has a great story on here.
I’m going to be starting Weight Watchers again soon, like in the next week or two, so I’ll be checking in on a regular basis. I’m nowhere near my top weight of a year ago, but I have put on some extra pounds. I just don’t want to let it get out of hand again. Plus I have a little added motivation: I managed to get myself engaged over Christmas, so I’d kinda like to look/feel good for that important event coming up. I’ll let you know when it happens.
Oh, and if you haven’t already, be sure and upgrade your WordPress install to 2.3.2. Apparently, there was a fairly significant bug that needed to be fixed in 2.3.1. WordPress proves time and time again how good they are as an open source community: These things get taken care of before they become problems.
Have a great 2008 everybody.

Happy New Year to you too. Thanks for the reminder. I upgraded to 2.3.2 today also. I re-vamped my site and got your link back. Looking forward to a slimmer year.
