Technically, this blog has been going for a year as of last Thursday 3/18. It figures that I would forget to say something on the actual day but I felt like it was something that warranted a post, even if it was belated. Here is a link to my first ever post.
I can't believe that I have been doing this for a full year already. I've been collecting autographs for most of my life but had no clue that I would stick with this blogging thing as long as I have. I think that I thought 100 posts was a good goal at the beginning. And I know that some of my fellow bloggers write many more posts per week than I do, or are into the thousands of total posts. I commend them for their commitment and skill; I know that I am not on their level. But I am very happy to have posted an average of 5.2 blog posts per week for a whole year.
I can hope that I will continue to post for another year or two, but who knows what the future will bring. I can guarantee that I will always collect Orioles autographs, but don't know if I can blog indefinitely. Some major life changes are looming so we will see how things work out, but I promise to post approximately 5.2 times a week as long as I have the time and motivation.
To celebrate my Blog-day, if you will, here is an autograph that I really like and that I got on my spring training trip. It's the Dean of the Orioles, our long-time second baseman and leadoff hitter, Brian Roberts. He's wearing an orange uniform, which is a focus of the new offshoot of my Orioles auto collection, and I just like the card.
Fifty-five hundred posts of showing what most consider mindless accumulation

This is post No. 5500 on the blog. Not that the number means all that much,
unless you tell someone outside the hobby that you've written 5,500 blog

Aw k'mon. I offered up fake cake last month for my blogiversary.
moe.
Happy birthday, GOAP!
Congratulations!
If your posting dropped to 5.1 times a week (or even 5.0), that would probably be ok.
Thanks everyone, I hope the next year has been as much fun as the first year was.
And those extra .2 posts a week are what really defines the blog. Haha.
