I'm not a fan of statistics. Math is not really my thing... but I've been running a few numbers so to speak.

This is now (as of the 26th) the beginning of my 5th year writing this blog.

In that time... I have had almost 48,000 page views... with roughly 20,000 of them being this year.

I have viewers in several countries! Including the US, Russia, Turkey, Pakistan, UK, Indonesia, Ireland, India and Jamaica! It boggles my mind.

I've written about 1400 posts *not quite every day*... but alot.

This year, it seems like alot of my posts have contained haiku... which I just started writing about a year ago.

In this year... I've written about 400 haiku... most of which are printed here. I never thought I was much of a writer (and still don't)... but I do enjoy the process of writing haiku. .. and I hope to publish them someday.

In the meantime; I am finishing up work this week on "The Sketchbook Project" for this year

(due in January)... which for me... means a journal of my haiku and photography.

What do all these numbers mean? Nothing really...

just interesting stuff for me ... and perhaps fodder for the thinking ...

and of course... I am glad you are still reading.
