In Celebration of My 300th Entry

I thought I’d get particularly transparent and tell you a little bit about myself, in celebration of my 300th entry. I know, I know, it’s not the same as the cool image I created when I celebrated 200. Well, cowboy, you just don’t celebrate as much when you get older. Now when I hit 500, maybe I’ll do something cool. Or maybe I’ll shoot for another abstract number, like 333 or something. Sorry, I’m rambling. But that’s why you’re here, right?
