NUMBERS

Google tells me that this is my two thousand one hundred fifty-seventh post, which in all have attracted eight thousand two hundred forty six comments.  I find these numbers astonishing.  It would appear that despite trips to Paris, I have written a post an average of roughly once a day for the past six years, for a total creeping toward a million words, if I have not already surpassed that.  Surely there is no one in the entire world, with the possible exception of myself, who has read all of those posts.  I think when I hit five thousand, which will be when I am maybe ninety-six, I ought to cut down.
