One Year Blogversary

How cool, I just noticed that I celebrate my one year blogversary this month. One year ago I became a Neophyte Pundit. I still feel like a neophyte, and since I only average about 50 hits a day it must show!

Thanks to all who continue to visit, I appreciate your reading! I would love to hear some opinions of my sight.
