Belated blog annivesary post

I started the blog 17 years ago on Monday, August 3--I forgot!   Reflections on the 14th and 10th anniversary are still relevant. I note that at the 10-year mark the blog had averaged 2.3 million visits and 3 million page views per year.  In the last five years, the blog has averaged more than 3.5 million visits and more than 4.5 page views per year. 

Thanks for reading--some of you for a very long time!
