The dominos of life are interesting when one event leads to another. Not all that long ago Nia, a photographer and genuinely nice person from Istanbul, Turkey, granted me the Angelika Award. Interesting it had no ties to it as many other awards do.
It so happens that receiving that award came not too long after the March 10th post where I listed links to many blogs I had discovered since the fall and encouraged readers to visit them. Did you visit any? Did you find new places you regularly visit? Did receive any new visitors? Have any become regular visitors?
If any of the answers above is yes, this award is for you – and without strings attached. In my own way, passing along goodness and thanks seems to be the appropriate way to celebrate my 900th post.
Nine hundred posts???? Holy Cow! Congratulations Frank. You are amazing. I am not sure I can even count that high!

Keep them coming!

Tim,
Oh well … time will tell. Thanks for stopping by
This blog is a result of our conversation during the primaries of the 2008 season – so a tip of the hat to you! As far as reaching 1K, without any unforeseen circumstances, it could happen sometime this fall. Maybe I should time it so it happens on Election Day!
Wait…wait…wait!! Is this number 900?!!!
Alex,
Yep – thus a gift to others while I slip the commemoration in on the last line. Thanks for stopping by!
Woohoo!! Grats Frank!

Congratulations! Here’s to another 900, and many more beyond!
Unfortunately, with spring (and household chores) upon us, my time for spinning round the Net is becoming limited. At least until it gets really hot, and I have to hibernate through the summer. Maybe then I can cast my net further across the …
Rats, I HATE when that happens!
John,
Thanks for the congrats. Spring time is what it is, so I understand. On the downside, I miss your comments here! BTW – In the countdown to the 10,000th comment, this was 9,993. Thanks for keeping me up to date!
Congratulations on the award, but also on 900 posts! That is amazing to me. You have a wonderful site, Frank, and I’m impressed at the variety of topics you cover. So interesting. Debra
Debra,
900 is a lot, but I’ve been doing this 3 1/2 years and staying persistent. For my style, bouncing around topics is one of the things that keeps me going. Meanwhile, oh my my!!! You were so close to another milestone number because you are comment 9,999! Thanks for commenting.
900–Holy Smokes. I am only up to 65. Congratulations. Thankx for the gift. I put the “award” on my blog.
Randel,
Thanks. Interestingly, it’s been a monumental week (see the comments on the today’s post about grocery stores. Thanks for commenting and for taking the award!
The best way to pass on an award
Colline,
Absolutely. I know the standard award is the blog version of chain letter to promote one another … and I do participate (many times with my own personal twist. So, this one was unique. Thanks for visiting.
