Happy anniversary to me

Yesterday marked the first anniversary of my association with Power Line (or my “maiden blog,” as Trunk put it). In June 2002, when Rocket Man e-mailed me about his new blog, I had no idea what he was talking about. I didn’t even make it to the end of his message where (I later realized) he had invited me to join. Fortunately for me, he persisted. Thanks for bringing me along, guys. And special thanks to our readers.
Some highlights:
Reviving a close friendship with Rocket Man
Developing a friendship with Trunk (and Little Trunk)
The 2002 election
Watching the “hit count” mount
Reader feedback
The intellectual stimulation of life in the blogosphere
Some lowlights:
Fact errors
Typos
System crashes
Periods when I don’t seem to have anything new to say
