Three years ago today, I started this blog and it's been a blast. I've been privileged to converse with some wonderful people over the years, and I don't plan on stopping anytime soon.

I'm still waiting for someone to hire me as a columnist, so if you happen to own a features syndicate, newspaper, magazine or solvent Web site, I'm always available.

I'd like to thank all of my readers for visiting several times a day and for your moral and financial support.

Did I say financial support? Yes, it's the monthly banging of the tip jar. There are Amazon and Paypal links to the left, or for those of you who think cash is impersonal, you can find my Amazon Wish list here.

For those of you who are still recovering financially from the recession, tell a few of your friends about Hoystory -- next year you won't have the same excuse.
