Two years ago tomorrow

Tomorrow marks 2 years of existence for Blog Meridian. In Aristotelian terms, it has become whatever the blog equivalent of "fully human" would be. Some might argue that such a statement begs the question of whether Aristotle was right about such things. At any rate, the terminally curious among you can go here to see how the Meridian was conceived (it's PG-rated, so most of the children can read over your shoulder); if you want to see how we kicked out the jams around here last year at this time, you're invited to go here. What a party THAT was! We spent the next few days looking for survivors.

What's interesting about reading that first post is that, apart from my not having written about Wal-Mart in quite some time, the Meridian's contents remain now as they started out then. Something else that has remained true is that I have always had loyal readers who are intelligent: back in its early incarnation on Livejournal, Kari of Delights for the Ingenious, Amy of Living in Books, and Raminagrobis of When Her Name You Write, You Blot visited and commented from the beginning . . . and stuck around, which was really important for me, seeing as, back then, I was finding very few blogs of the sort that I was interested in keeping.

What has been especially rewarding, especially over the past half year or so, is that I have found more and more of those kinds of blogs, many of which I have linked to, and some of whom have graciously linked to mine--and those links, of course, draw readers here, who sometimes leave comments that lead me to their sites . . . it's the happiest sort of vicious cycle. And it's one that I very much look forward to doing my part to perpetuate, with my readers' help.

Thanks again for reading.
