98, 99,...100!

When I first started blogging on February 28, 2009, I never thought I’d be so uncelebrated well received into the blogging community.  Now, after 8.5 months, and eight HUNDREDS  of consistent readers, I know I’ve hit my prime.  And it feels good.  Fantastic.  To celebrate this surely forgetful commemorative occasion, the 100’s of Carpeviam.  A list of 10 things, under 10 topics, all about my blog (and in no particular order).
