Amateur Night

2019 will be the 10th year of blogging (my first entry 8/2009).  What has happened over the 10 years?   The interesting blog development curve shows the classic exuberance followed by sustaining entries that tail off at about year 5 (both entries and page views).  At about the 1000th entry my blogging energy started to wane as illustrated by the yellow line of diminishing returns.   Or could it be running out of things to say?

Last night was fun with M&M L. hosting the New Year Dinner with friends.  Plenty of laughter and discussion.  There was a round table of New Year's Resolutions with prizes (MegaMillion Lottery tickets) for the best resolutions.  A winning ticket would erase the blues of 2018 stock market performance.  Susan and I continued our streak of sleeping through the New Year - leaving the party early.  As J.R. always said -  get home early because New Year's Eve is "Amateur's Night".
