NewMexiKen is taking the day off to celebrate the blog’s sixth anniversary.
The posts today are being written by readers just like you. This was from long-time reader Annette two years ago.
Top Ten Reasons I Read NewMexiKen
10. The now-defunct Week Quiz and its successors.
9. There’s a page dedicated to Ron Howard’s brother.
8. Every day is somebody’s birthday.
7. I’ve been reading for so long I feel like the Sweeties and I are growing up together.
6. NMK is the hippest (and smartest) grandfather I know of.
5. I’m reminded of all the American history I’ve forgotten since high school.
4. NMK reads the rest of the Internet so I don’t have to.
3. There’s always something new.
2. He links to me.
1. Wisdom, whimsy, and wit: three things the Internet needs more of.
My favorites are 8, 7, 6!, 5, 4!, 3, and 1. Thank you to Annette (two years ago) for putting my thoughts into words.
Ken, it’s #1 all the way for me. There’s so much to laugh about with the right people.
All applied to me except #2. I was pleasantly surprised to see the site back up after the short hiatus. One of first five sites I visit each evening after work.
Thanks Ken
