It goes without saying that you are appreciated as a reader of this blog. I am still amazed by the power of blogging and the written word to connect and inform people around the world. As one who remembers telephones with party lines, black & white television, pay phones, beepers and segregation, this opportunity to connect, inform and mobilize people is too incredible to pass up.

Woo-hoo! It's almost December and I'm just a few followers away from my goal of 2,000 by the end of the year. Thank you to everyone who has made this accomplishment possible. I've still set my sight on Top Twitterer Ashton Kutcher who's now at 4,028,795! Aarrgh!

I'm projected to be act over 2,100 but I'm fine with my own projection. I'd really appreciate your helping me increase my Twitter followers and make Mr. Kutcher nervous, okay?

Hi, everyone. I am so excited that my Twitter following is at more than 1,600 and growing. Yes, I'm still trying to overtake Ashton Kutcher as the top Twitterer and I appreciate your help.

I'm now moving my goal to 2,000 and I hope to reach that by the end of the year. Some of my friends still don't undestand Twitter but I've given up on them yet.

Anyhoo, if you're a follower, thanks much and if you're not, you're just a click away. Follow me and let's keep in touch. Smooches...

Thank you to all the folks following me on Twitter. My number of followers has increased tremendously over the last three months although I'm not sure why. I don't know what happened but my Twitter statistics continue to increase; hopefully I can get to a thousand by year-end.
