Something came to my attention recently, and it occurred in Colorado when April and I were there having the time of our lives at the Sixthman Throwdown. No, it wasn’t the realization that Sixthman community members are the coolest people ever (which is undoubtably true), nor that I am capable of drinking more Colorado mudslides than I ever thought possible (which also happens to be true). No, what I discovered came as much more of a surprise. I found out that you are actually reading this blog. I mean, I knew that my fellow Sixthman co-workers were daily readers, as well as the occasional Sixthman community member as evidenced by a sporadic comment or two. While commentators are few and far between, I knew that some of you were there and it was enough of a reward to know that a few of you were actually listening. However, I found out that in actuality there are more of you out there!
When I was approached by several folks at the throwdown inquiring about the well being of Izzy and Chloe (my two kitties), it dawned on me that there are many more of you! You may not make yourselves known, but you are there! This came as somewhat as an astonishment to me to come to learn that my audience was in fact quite larger that I could comprehend, so I inquired about this to Steve, our blog master over at Sixthman. According to Steve, there are actually anywhere between 200 and 250 of you out there reading the Sixthman blog daily and readership has been steadily growing! The realization of this suddenly made this fun little exercise seem a bit more daunting. I mean, who are you lurking quietly behind your screen? Won’t you please say hello? Introduce yourself, tell me about who you are! You know that I appreciate your readership even if you don’t comment, but knowing who you are now that I know that you are there helps make this activity a bit more personal and intimate, which is truly the entire purpose of this blog- for you to get to know us and for us to get to know you. In just a short few months we will really be getting to know each other, so why not get a jump start on that right now?
Come out, come out, whoever you are!
