STARTING OUR FOURTH YEAR. Was it as recently as September 5, 2002, that the Cold Spring Shops opened? Feels like a lifetime ago. Unbeknownst to me, Bill Sjostrom, who once put up with me at Northern Illinois, opened Atlantic Blog the same day. Newmark's Door and Chicago Boyz also have September 2002 startups. Check them out, if you've not been there lately. We all started on Blogger with the same base template. I'm the remnant. Judge for yourself whether some 5000 posts over three years is "sporadic" posting.
