This is number 500

I just noticed that this blog has had 499 posts so far, which makes this one number 500.  That's a lot of thoughts, but when I really think about it, it's not.  I started this blog in March of 2004.  500 posts over nearly six years doesn't add up to a lot per day.  If you look to the right at the archive, 2005 and 2006 were fairly active years.  That's when I sat at a desk for a good part of the day, and I was learning a lot about my chosen field of work.  I was also upset a lot.

Since then we've been busy.  I'm a 31-year-old American, so I probably should be such.

Now I've forgotten what I sat down to write about.  I guess that will be in #501.
