It's time for another all-about-me meme. I don't think I've posted one here in a long time, as most of them have moved over to Facebook and Twitter. (Thankfully, for the most part.)
This time it is a brief history of this blog. Pick the first sentence of the first post of each month and show off your brilliance. Based on Christina Pikas' entry, which is based on that from DrugMonkey. Here is me. I seem to be remarkably consistent. I also provide the number of posts that month, mainly to say that I've posted more in previous years - 61 in October 2003.:

Three so far this month, and I see several waiting to be written. Maybe I'll break a record for the year!
