Big 1-0-0

Apparently Blogger is having a few problems.  I posted this already, but now it seems to be gone along with any comments posted on my blog in the past couple of days.  Oh well, I lose things all the time so no big deal.  If you left a comment, just know I wasn't ignoring you.  For once the mental "pause" is entirely not my fault:)

I can't believe it!  This is my 100th post on this little ol' blog.  Who'd a thunk?  I have seen other bloggers do special things to celebrate this milestone.  Some have contests, but since I have all of two readers...three tops...it seemed a little over the top.  I like how some people write a list of 100 interesting facts about themselves.  I thought it would be a neat thing to do.  Unfortunately I soon discovered that I'm not really all that interesting.  So I lowered the bar a bit ...

Here's 50 things you may not know about me.
