100! One hundred! Today is my 100th post in this blog. It’s been a lot of fun for me and I hope my readers have enjoyed my blog as well. In my opinion, some of them have been very good and some of them have been stinkers. The vast majority fell in the great middle. It’s like the standard normal curve that I used to hope the teacher would use in school to save my grade!
100 is a good time for a reassessment. Do I still enjoy writing my blog? Yes. Is my readership still out there? Yes. It’s been steady and growing a little. I love my readers! Are there enough things to write about? Of course! It’s a big, wonderful world out there.
My most read posts, and the ones that have received the most comments, are when I write about growing up in a small town in the late 50s and the 60s. My high school years seem to be as interesting to my readers as they are to me. Anyone who has been a regular reader of my blog knows how I love nostalgia and how much I loved growing up in my small town, Slatington.
So here is the evolution part. Going forward most, if not all, of my blogposts are going to be about growing up in the one square mile of memories on the west bank of the Lehigh River. From my grade school days at Lincoln Elementary to the day I graduated from Slatington High School with my 120 classmates in 1970.
I hope my readers, who couldn’t care less about Slatington, will stick around to read about life in a small town during the wonder years. I hope my Slatington readers will tell their friends about the new focus. It’s another adventure…and one I am looking forward to. I hope you are as well.
