Happy 1,000th!

  Decided not to scare anyone away, with this more conservative rendition.  Its been a good run, and, even though the daily demands due to my parents' health, might prevent me from being as consistent with my daily blips, I hope to contribute as much as possible.

  I would like to mention those of you who have been so bold as to routinely, visit my little blip site, and encourage me to try something different.  Even though most of you insist on driving on the wrong side of the road - I believe you to be a warm, kind hearted people, with passions that I share.  And, to the 618 of you who have decided to 'follow' my attempts, I say...thank you.
