Welcome 2008! In the past year I really have been enjoying writing in my blog. With the help of bloggy friends like Dennis Weed (erieblogs.com), Peter Panepento (globalerie.com), and Jack Tirak (eriemediablog.com), who have been so kind to add me to their blogrolls, I have been encouraged in keeping up to date and relevant with my posts.

 My greatest appreciation goes to you, loyal reader and commenter. I’m really grateful for your willingness to take a moment to read my takes, and perhaps contribute to the conversation. Thank you for being a most important part of this endeavor.

 I hope you’ll like our new look for the new year. I promise to keep the topics lively and positive, and I hope you’ll share this address with your friends. All the best in the new year!
