Hi just thought i would tell you something.. This is twice now i’ve landed on your blog in the last 3 days looking for totally unrelated things. Spooky or what?
ED: Not sure if “spooky” is the word I’d use, perhaps serendipitous, possibly lucky, and most certainly, part of a much larger plan to bring the whole world to our humble site, in the hopes that each and every one might find something of interest to share with someone else.
As to your lightly disguised attempt to spam my site, hey, better luck next time. ;) An email request to consider advertising at a nominal rate might work better. JM
