Tuesday marked the 19th anniversary of COTTonLINE. We dropped our first substantive post on December 23, 2006.
I meant to recognize the anniversary on Tuesday but, as you know, things get busy at this time of year. Still, better late than never.
In those nineteen years we’ve posted in excess of sixteen thousand items. Just for fun I’ve looked back at some old posts and they seem to hold up reasonably well. All are still there for us to see.
I suppose you could call what I’ve done here my second career, that of an essayist. I’ve enjoyed the work, making the process indistinguishable from play. I hope you’ve found a few things to enjoy as well, they are my gift to you.
And I wish you a very Merry Christmas. I hope the joyous season finds you in good spirits, enjoying the company of kinfolk and friends.
