Thanks Mucho to Lenny Durrant, and ten thousand close friends.

Without GarLen I am nothing at all - a lot of my friends here come from over there. So make sure you check my favorites and head to the Shack http://my.opera.com/GarLen/blog/ and Ken Wenger's photos site. Ken Rhodes has a great baseball visuals site at http://my.opera.com/KenRhodes/blog/ I also found viewership has grown from sixty views a month to thirty views a day, and I am thankful for this. Special thanks also to long time friend Jeff Downey at http://www.tabletop-sports.com
Imitators might try to unseat you by using similar names, but twenty thousand people a month cannot be wrong.

No one will unseat Dan Patterson and the team at the Strat-O-Matic Forum, either. Visit his site, as over two thousand people a day do, at http://www.stratfanforum.com/forums Thanks for all you do, Dan.

After about a year in operation, we crossed 10,000 visitors, with a big push, over 1400 in November alone, from as close as Denver and as far away as Singapore. In May 2011 we have seen 14,000 visits from 4,000 viewers. It means a lot to have thousands of people watching what you post. And it means a lot to have input and support from so many who mean so much to me. This means you especially, Dan, Dave, Stephen, Jim, Lenny, Gary, Ken, Stooch, Linus, Kurt, and who could forget Mr. Payne. Also Ed, Scott, Citizen Kane, and the rest of The Team. Fred
