50,000

Around a quarter after two this afternoon, this blog had its 50,000th visit since its launch four and a half months ago. Ironic that this milestone, such as it is, comes on the heels of a dormant weekend and slow day back in the saddle. In any event, I am pleased that Dailytakes.com is a daily read for several hundred regular readers and am optimistic the recent growth in readership will continue. As always, I appreciate you forwarding the web address to any family, friends or colleagues you think may be interested in the topics discussed on this blog.

I’ll be adding a few bells and whistles in the coming weeks and, as always, I welcome your feedback, suggestions, hot tips and story ideas.
