But it's actually about 25,000 views higher, since that's what I began the service with. It only records the most recent 100, so if I blog about something that shoots it up, I'm not aware of it till the party is over.

Update for April 15, 2012

Yes, I'm a blogger. Some are current, some are not. Two are completed. MMHS1957 is the blog of a high school reunion that went on for four years. Memory patterns was finished in one month in 2005 and is about sewing. I really enjoy rereading them--after all, that's what a blog is: web log, or a diary you keep on the web.

Today at Exercising through the Church year I blogged about a guy in Texas, a 46 year old body builder--actually I just posted the You Tube of his event. Also mentioned my 20 minute walk after church. This is a group blog, but all the others have dropped out, and I'm not the owner, so I have no control over what it looks like.

Then at Church of the Acronym I wrote about the book I'm reading, Bonhoeffer by Eric Metaxus and his impressions of the American seminary he attended in 1930, Union Theological Seminary. You can see by his comments that the seeds of the demise of mainstream Protestantism were already planted 80 years ago.

I posted another item about Bonhoeffer at On my Bookshelves. Also mentioned my "new" 90 cent find at the thrift shop, Sandra Lee Semi-homemade cooking.

At Coffee Spills, the blog where I talk to people in the coffee shops I frequent, or notice things, I saw two anorexic women enjoying each others company over a cup of coffee.

At my regular blog, Collecting my Thoughts, where I write about politics, books, church, entertainment, celebrities, fashion, money, food, and just about anything that comes to mind, I wrote about the misguided people who actually donate money to Planned Parenthood so that babies can die. That is so strange.
