I know… I’m easily pleased. But I’m going to interrupt the regularly scheduled whatever-we-usually-have-here to toot my own horn just a little.

Today PI received its 30,000th visitor. I know that probably seems pretty lame to people who regularly get that many visitors a day (or week, or even month). But to me it’s a very big deal and I welcome each and every one of my visitors. #30,000 visited from the lovely state of New Mexico, dropped in on a search for free sock patterns and ended up at my Sockapaloooza socks page. Sorry, #30,000, that you didn’t find what you were looking for. But I hope you enjoyed your visit!

And the other never-happened-before event happened yesterday, when my post about the Astoria bridge (among other things) spent all day in the ORblogs.com Popular Today box. Again, those who regularly spend time there probably think that’s a little lame for even mentioning it. But I’ve never been there before, but I was always picked last for any team in school, and I felt that certain thrill, ya know?

Thank you, again, to everyone who visits. I promise not to let it go to my head.

OK… we now return you to your regularly scheduled whatever-we-do-here.
