To all of you who read this blog and to those who stumble across it while looking for a cheap motel or washing machine repairman. This is to let you know we have reached a milestone.
Today we got our one millionth hit on Once Upon a Time in the Vest.
That's an average of 5747 per month for 174 months or 191 per day. Way short of being a social media "influencer" who gets much more in one day, but we're a niche market. Anyway, thanks to all of you 145 folks on our mailing list. Much of what appears on our pages is what you have written or ideas you have contributed, so pat yourselves on the back. Roy and I appreciate your loyalties and the ideas and suggestions you have written directly to us or onto the comments section. Here are the numbers below as they appear today.
We started this thing based on a mutual friendship with Steve Price when we had a three way handwritten correspondence between Roy Mason in Ukiah, CA, Steve in the kingdom of Bahrain, and George in Marondera, Zimbabwe where we were each located in 1984. The three of us were only ever together three times in our lives. So thank you to our English teachers back in the 1950's, who taught us about comma splices, subjunctive mood, and naughty limericks. Initially the blog posts were based on Roy's hilarious synopses of his old issues of Track and Field News, but when he consumed his collection we had to look beyond that world and the blog evolved from there. We were never good at marketing and promotion, and had we tried to go that route, we probably would have folded in short order.

Thank you to all,
George Brose
