Happy new year to all of my readers!

For the year, the blog attracted more than 115,000 views, as the blog continues to grow every year. Since I launched this in 2009, we’re at just shy of 280,000 views. Pretty amazing.
That said, I know I couldn’t do this without you. So thanks for reading … and please keep doing so in 2014.
Tell your family, friends and neighbors. And happy new year!
