Forgive me for growing a little misty-eyed nostalgic today. It's because 368 posts and 3,554 comments after debuting with this lil’ diddy, your friendly Sportatorium is suddenly 6 months old.
Funny, I don’t feel a day over 2. Hundred.
The full report card won’t come out until we’ve survived a year, but this progress report looks decent. Translation: Whew, we’re still on the air.
After six months I've tweaked the original syllabus. It’s clear you guys are fond of, in no particular order: Females, Radio Personalities and Cowboys. Cool by me.
If I'm reading that wrong, feel free to correct me. This is your invite for cheers, jeers or otherwise construcitve feedback.
Consider this a heartfelt hug, my quick shoutout to the ambitious posters who have made my Sportatorium “appointment surfing.” I’m not quite as well-to-do Mary Kay so no pink caddy. But take this public backslap as a token of my appreciation.
