This blog turned 6 years old a few hours ago - happy birthday, blog!

This is going to be the 2,269th entry here - and I'm not saying even half of it, I guess. The backlog's still there, flourishing.

As I wrote in the very first post, my primary source of blogging inspiration was Salam Pax - who seems to be back in Iraq now and who I follow on Twitter. Thank you, Salam!

And, thanks a lot to everyone who's been reading me and talking to me here over the years.
