A (Late) Third Anniversary

This blog started three years ago this past Thursday. I was able to make my "happy blogsday to me" postings on time on the first and second anniversaries of Mike's Musings. This past week was such a scramble that I lost track of the date!

It's been an interesting year. Here are some of what I think were the highlights:

• I played around with the naming conventions of subdivisions. Twice!
  
• I found a rock band named"Delaware." In fact, I posted about them two times!
• And I found another Mike Mahaffie.
  
• I found a few cases of people dissing Delaware on their blogs.
• Every once in a while I get off a pretty good post about my lovely wife.
• On the other hand, a few times I got annoyed by some folks' takes on national and local issues.
• I shared my experience with sciatica.
• I learned about two historic places I'd like to buy: a fort and a lighthouse.
• I posted pretty pictures from the Virgin Islands, from Watkins Glen, from Niagara Falls, and from Vermont.
  
• I realized a simple life rule: Don't Be a Jackass.
• I spent a lot of time over the last year working on my family tree. Some of the results of that research ended up on the blog.

Oh yeah.... And there were puppies!
