A few months ago, when it became apparent that I was closing in on the blog's 3,000th entry about the same time that I would celebrate its 10-year anniversary, I stepped up my posting schedule.
I've always written a post every weekday and usually one on weekends. But once I realized how close these two moments would be I started posting every day.
When I did the math I realized it would be close, really close, but I would be off by four — 2996 posts on February 7, the blog's tenth birthday.
So I had a dilemma. Should I actually post twice a day for several days? How obsessive was I going to be? Apparently, thankfully ... not enough!
