Dear Readers,
As improbable as it seemed when I launched this weblog, today marks the 9th anniversary of The iPINIONS Journal.
Remarkably enough, I enjoy writing my commentaries even more now than I did back then. It might be a little more challenging, but I have no doubt that I’ll be doing so for at least another nine years.
Apropos of which, I marveled when I read in his CBS obituary (dated November 5, 2011) that Andy Rooney, one of my favorite commentators, wrote 1,097 commentaries during his 30 years at ’60 Minutes’. Therefore, imagine my shock and delight when I learned that I have written almost three times as many in just nine years – 2,936 to be exact.
Of course, I’d consider myself very lucky indeed if you find my commentaries half as interesting as I found Andy’s.
Thank you for your support, especially the cherished few who have read every commentary and provided feedback from day one!
Cheers,
ALH
