1,502,798.

Bust out the bubbly and prepare your toasts!

That’s right folks. My blog is ranked #1,502,798 out of the gagillion blogs out there.

I was reading the latest over at Ragamuffin Soul and he just blogged that he’s ranked #2008, so I thought I would see where this little blog was on the hot blog charts.

It isn’t.

Hot, that is.

Maybe some day I’ll rank in the top 1 Million. What can I say? I dream big.

p.s. I googled “celebration” and the image above was in the first page. I thought it was mildly celebratory. And also very strange.

a.personal.blog.about.andy.

Just kidding.

Andy, I wouldn’t “blog you.”

I would do this, though…

And maybe a little of this…

close.call.

I nearly just walked out of the restroom at the office with my dress tucked into my undies.

And then I felt the breeze…

distance.makes.the.heart.grow.fonder.

Perhaps that saying does in fact hold some truth.

My good friends Keleigh & John, who recently got married, are settling in to their new place in Portland, Oregon. The city is right up their alley with all sorts of festivals every weekend, lots of hiking and outdoorsy activities, and plenty of granola people to befriend. Until the recent move, they were a short drive away in Philadelphia, and although I haven’t made the trek very often in the last year or so, I always knew that I could and it wouldn’t be a big deal.

And now they’ve moved across the country. They’re no longer a short drive away. A visit will require plane tickets, itineraries, and time off from work. And I know how that sort of thing goes…lots of good intentions, not a lot of action.

Kel’s been sending me pictures from their voyage out west, their new apartment, their local farmer’s market, and the latest were pictures from their wedding. It’s all very bitter sweet.

I’m not sure if you guys read my blog, but if you do, I really miss you both.
