Thank you readers!

I discovered this morning a pleasant surprise.  I have passed 3,400 page views for the blog.  Here's how it breaks down by country:

Entry	Pageviews
United States	2598
Australia	213
France	120
Russia	66
Kenya	63
Germany	54
Uganda	39
Japan	38
United Arab Emirates	19
Switzerland	19

Thank you Switzerland.  I have no idea who you are, but thank you for putting me over the top.

Things I miss from home

1. My home.

2.  Charles, especially his very dry wit.

3. My Imelda Marcos sized shoe collection

4. Scott and Alex (and Oscar-baby)

5. The Rhines

6. Pascal's

7. The Pantry's jalepeño pimento cheese spread

8.  My car and driving

9.  My rose garden that I perpetually ignore

10. My pets -- those departed and those still with us.
