Happy New Year Silverhorners!! We made it through 2006, whew...it was touch and go there for a while, but we made it, and yeeeeeeeeeee-haw! Well, almost, originally when I wrote this post, I intended to publish it on New Year's Eve, but, I am trying to get the jump on Time Magazine, Newsweek, People, ABC, NBC, CBC and all the other C's who will undoubtedly be producing a year in review.
2007...It's an odd numbered year, I usually have better luck in odd numbered years...call me crazy but that is how I choose to think...of course in even numbered years I say the same thing.
Soooo...time for a little reflection and introspection....I know that is a big word...I'm not sure what it means but it seems to fit...
Since April 2006, when all this began in earnest, we have posted 144...err...diatribes...ahh...stories...that's a lot of diatribe...We've also managed to garner about 14000 visits, not bad for a diatribe....We also received around 70 comments, some favorable, some not so much and some just completely stoopid...like the one that keeps wishing me a happy life...yeah right....
When we started this I wasn't even sure what a blog was, and now I know a little about HTML (very little) pinging, trackbacks, links, blog carnivals, search engine optimization, meta tags, Technorati, Digg, de.licious and more...I even figured out how to post the occasional picture.
During the year, The View From Silverhorn Mountain was reviewed by Frog My Blog!! and came away a winner, garnering 5/5 Ladybugs which, I understand, is a good as it gets.
We also launched our line of Silverhorn Mountain apparel in association with Cross The Line Designs and even managed to sell a few shirts.
We started out talking about the orgins of April fools day and ended up talking about Britney Spears running around without panties...(oooh that sounds naughty)yes, here at The View From Silverhorn Mountain, no subject is too tough or too controversial for us to tackle.
Along with Britney Spears, with took a run at wayward wharves, Pam Anderson, motorcycle safety, the Princess Diana conspiracy, brain surgeons, rocket scientists, Katie Couric, blueberries, snakes on planes, racoons, bears, alligators Osama Binn Laden, Elmer Shipnagger, the DaVinci Code, Casinos and Church, spaghetti and of course, the bane of my existence, those idiotic, stupid, ugly, foolish, awful excuse for shoes, Crocs....Yes, we left very few stones unturned, just click the archives if you want to go back and read them again...how could you not...
When The View From Silverhorn Lodge first published there was a war going on in Iraq...and now...um....there is still a war going on in Iraq....Global Warming was heating up and now...um...it is still heating up....the Military were looking for Binny Laden and his buddies and now....oh yeah...they are still looking for him....ah well, folks wanted to hang Saddam...and now....ahhh...OK...I guess going down the road of all the changes we have seen over the past year is not such a good idea..OK...wait, I got one, when I first started this blog I was middle aged, cranky and overweight...nope...no change their either....
The View From Silverhorn Mountain is a combined effort and Silverhorn wouldn't exist without the input and assistance from Marcello, Chief Garden Gnome here at the lodge, and his team of gnomes and researchers, Alonzo and Carlos and the others. We also had support from Maggie our Platinum Life and Afterlife Member and other members such as Carlyle and Alphonse, two great members who visited often. And of course, I cannot forget "The Wife" without her this wouldn't have been possible. I apologize for all the times I may have made fun of you....
To all of you, and any others I haven't mentioned, Thank You for your support and Happy New Year!!!!!
