Six pack

Six years. I should have been elected to the U.S. Senate instead.

NewMexiKen (i.e., this blog) began six years ago tomorrow, August 4, 2003. Because of changes in software and hosting services I have lost count, but I’m certain there have been more than a 1½ million visits to these pages. (And more than 800 posts since I last quit.)

As you may remember from 2006 and 2007, on my anniversary, you blog, I comment.

Send me your story, best line, link or other NewMexiKen type content to be posted on Tuesday. The first year I tried this, we had seven or eight good posts. In 2007 just one (thank you, Annette).

If you’re a regular reader (and there are a few of you), it’s your turn. And no boring stuff — it’s got to be Wise, Whimsical or Witty (or at least half-witty). Email to newmexiken at gmail dot com. Tell me if you do not want your name posted. And I do reserve my editorial prerogative.

Except for a photo essay for the Maroon Bells that I am working on, what you get between now and Wednesday depends on you.

Oh, and tomorrow should be a half-day national holiday. It’s my half birthday. Oh, and President Obama is 48 Tuesday.
