Realized over the weekend that this was coming up. Well, I started this to document my lymphoma treatment, way back in September, 2005. So about 1,000 postings a year – averaging 2-3 per day.<\/p>\n

Here are the first month's postings, a grand total of ten:<\/p>\n

Here's the very first one on September 8th, 2005 –<\/p>\n

And he's one a couple of weeks later, as I discuss pending hair loss with then 8 year old Tim –<\/p>\n

Pending hair loss and bathroom repartee with #2 son<\/a><\/p>\n

And within a month – on October 2nd – I posted about my brother Paul, after a lifetime of illness – his sudden death at age 47.<\/p>\n

I've had just over 350,000 page views (one way of counting visits to the webblog) – just under 100 a day. Plus an unknown number of people who've seen my postings on Facebook. And 3,517 comments left. I'm sure I've received at least that many emails re: my posts.<\/p>\n

Anyway, it's been a slice and since nowadays I hardly ever post about my health – it's mostly articles and youtube videos that take very little time – there's no reason to stop. It really is a kind of diary of my life. Oh, and that picture of me in the corner of the weblog is ten year old. Won't be changing it!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
