This blog started with a fire command.
That first post ended as follows:
Well, let’s just see how it goes.
And how has Target Centermass gone? Well, I’ve obviously found it rewarding enough to stick with it past my initial personal goal of a three-month trial. It’s been satisfying enough to leave behind Blogspot and actually fork over some money (twice, actually) for a domain to keep up my little self-indulgence.
Traffic-wise, TCm hasn’t been an overnight success — or even an overyear success, for that matter. Still, I consider it a success to date, if only for the interaction with and attention I’ve enjoyed receiving from other bloggers I respect. It’s been a fun ride that I think I’ll continue for a while; thanks, John, Phil, Eric, JohnL, Chad, Alan, Scott, Raven, GuyS, and Damian (I reserve the right to update this list to catch anybody I’ve overlooked). Seriously, thanks. Y’all have made this a pleasure.
Thanks again to the inspirations that got me blogging:
In summation, happy blogiversary to me. What’s next?
Well, let’s just see how it goes.

Happy Blogiversary, Gunner. You keep it real, and that’s why I’ll continue reading as long as you continue writing. Cheers!
