My WEBsite just hosted its 50,000th hit. Most, I believe, are visits to Secondhand Smoke.
When I began this blog (HT, Colin), I was skeptical about the genre. But I have learned that blogging is an excellent way to communicate with (a growing) number of people—and to be communicated to by them. Thanks to all who visit and who share their views on Secondhand Smoke. I look forward to our continued interaction.
