Shoot! I nearly forgot today is the anniversary of the blog! This is year makes number eleven! Hurrah for our side!
The Board of Directors Here at Spo-reflections sent me a warm congratulations written in runes engraved on the skull. This makes eleven for my collection. Isn’t that sweet? The Muses and The Fates sent identical bow ties. I wonder if they did this on purpose. Imagine the following conversation: “Let’s send the same tie so he can return one of them and get one he really wants”. The Fates sent a card; The Skanks sent a six pack of Coors (they splurged for the occasion). The Norns didn’t send anything at all, as is their wont: they do not recognize any holidays other than Ragnorak.
I am pleased as punch at having made another year of blogging. I think I have run out of ideas and this isn’t worthwhile to continue only to have some notion drop on my head like the Wicked Witch of the East and off I go. I very much enjoy writing so I suspect Spo-Reflections will continue for an indefinite period of time.
Over the past year I have seen bloggers go and new ones arise. I am very glad to have discovered new Spo-fans; I am grateful for all of you.
There is no agenda to my peripatetic writings. Entries range from erudite instruction to farce. Blogging remains a marvelous journey and I am very glad you all will come along for the walk.

I will send you an anniversary present. I believe that 11 years is commemorated with rutabaga.

Wow, that is an accomplishment. I had no idea and now see I missed a lot of past blogs. I’ll go back and read some. I’m coming up on 5 years of blogging mostly ramblings, but hey, it’s my blog, right?
February 8, 2017 at 2:10 PM
Urspo
LOL five years of ramblings soon turns into eleven so heed my warning! 😉

Hanging on to Someone for 20 years and your blog for 11 demonstrates how adept you are at maintaining long-term commitments (and juggling relationships without catfights).
February 8, 2017 at 2:08 PM
Urspo
At first read I thought you said without catfish. Both are achievements.

I was lurking for about a year before becoming a regular and coming out of the closet, So to speak. 🙂
It takes me a while to get to know a body.I like to stay at the back of the room in the corner to feel the temp of a room before wading to the front to say Howdy and introduce myself.
Then you can shut me up. Hahaha

Happy Eleven! Hey, didn’t I just wish you a happy twenty for some other minor anniversary? And what means ” i ” at the bottom? Is ” i ” the new 30?

Sharp eyes! I didn’t see that until you pointed it out. No doubt an illegal tittle trying to cross the border. Call the O3 (orangutan in the oval office).

Hi Ur Spo, And happy blog-i-versary! It’s been awhile, how are things in the valley of the sun? I’ve go a little snow and it’s as cold as a republican’s heart. But a quick warm up is on the way. I may have a life changing event happen next month. So I be sure to get blogging before and after what ever happens.

I always look forward to your entries!

I am a believer that longevity is to be celebrated. I hope you are having a Scotch.
