Happy Blogiversary to Me!

by Goldy — Sunday, 5/10/15, 1:32 pm

Darryl just called to remind me that today is the 11th anniversary of my very first post to HA:

[T]o those upstanding members of the political and media establishment who insist I cannot possibly expect to maintain my credibility as an activist while producing an irreverent and outrageous blog, the Goldy half of me respectfully says: “fuck you.”

Yeah, it’s been a weird 11 years. But rereading that post, I’m proud that I’ve always managed to remain true to myself.

Anyway, thanks for reading me all these years. That’s all any writer can ask for in life: readers.

    “That’s all any writer can ask for in life: readers.”

    Not really. Writers hope to get paid, too. But take what you can get.

    Today is Mother’s Day and HA’s birthday, and tomorrow is my birthday, which makes for a busy weekend.

    There’s so much noise and so many opinions. But you stand out as a voice of reason and someone worth reading and listening to. Congratulations and thank you.

    That break you took for awhile will pay dividends going forward. Nolan Ryan had his military service interrupt him for awhile, and look how long he lasted.

    Congratulations.

    Good for you for maintaining the long grind, and keeping it fresh, too. And thank you!

    Some of us will be here till the server goes cold.. Not entirely sure if that is a good thing from your perspective, but ah well, too bad you’re stuck with us!

    Congrats!
