I recently became aware that this my 100th post to his blog. Having started this as a lark back in February, I have been pleased to see the readership of this blog nearly double since the first post (thanks, Mom). I was thinking of the best way to celebrate this milestone. Maybe a listing of my ten favorite posts from the previous half year? Perhaps a compilation of some of the complementary comments that you all have left over the past 6 months (my favorite being the fairly persistent commentator who offers free on-line gambling and other wonderful services)? Would a reception for the press at a local eatery be an appropriate way to mark this landmark event?
But I’ve reconsidered. As many of you know, I have enjoyed a yoga practice for a number of years now. Apart from the obvious physical benefits, it has helped to clear my mind of exactly the kind of self-aggrandizing, ego-stroking, wholly narcissistic exercises that I just proposed in the preceding paragraph. I am simply content to know that, through yoga, I have achieved the kind of inner peace that allows me to simply let this numerical milepost pass quietly with just a slight, barely noticeable, nod to the intellectual power, astute insights. and cleverness that is all too evident in my work here.
All this said, I will allow just this small audio file that was sent to me by a friend to honor this achievement. I haven’t had a chance to listen to it yet, but I have been assured that it is appropriate for the occasion.
