On New Year’s Eve we published our 200^th post.  The first hundred came quicker than we thought it would.   The second hundred, slowed by He’s Lost Summer took longer.  On average, everything seems to be just right.

When we began we promised to always keep our blog real, exploring real reality.  Like reality itself we are sometimes funny, sometimes thoughtful, sometimes observant, and sometimes a little off-kilter.  It is like us, who we are.

It was tough to pick favorites with just one hundred posts from which to choose.  It’s twice as hard with two hundred.  It’s like asking which is your favorite child, a difficult decision even for parents of only children.

We’re not sure what makes a favorite.  There are some particularly well written, some particularly humorous, some particularly insightful.  We guess it’s whatever you might be looking for at the time.  It could be the brutal honesty of “Weddings Held Hostage” or the joyfulness of “Weddings Gone Wild.”  Maybe it’s the peek into our weekends in “Family Time” that brought a smile to your face.  Or perhaps it was the ramblings of our favorite holiday in “Proper Attire Required” that made you just shake your head for 6 more weeks.

All of these are from our second hundred and there are still plenty from the first hundred that we’re particularly fond of.  “How Would You Like Your Toast?” “Star Polisher,” and the “We’re On Vacation” series come to mind. We even expressed our opinion of those television reality shows in “Unreal” and our opinion of some real show stoppers in “That Play’s The Thing, That Thing They Do” in the first hundred posts.

There might be somebody who has read all of our posts.  We’re not sure why but we bet there is.  If we were going to pick a “best of” list we wouldn’t be able.  Yes, we liked them all but more than that, we liked what they all said about us.  What gets said in the third hundred might be completely different.  But it will still say this is who we are and what we do.  You can figure out the why.  Really.

Now, that’s what we think.  Really.  How ‘bout you?
