On my dear readers who can't really be only my friends but maybe could be new friends one day

Looking at the Google Analytics report for this blog has given some interesting facts about which city the readers are living in, how long you are staying around, whether you are a new or returning visitor. So although I don’t know any of you by name, hopefully you will recognize yourself in the following, providing you’re reading this blog again:

Thank you to the person/s from New York who spent an average of 55 seconds reading a couple of pages.

Thank you to the person/s in Christchurch, New Zealand (is that you, Mark?) who read an average of 1.57 pages and spent 90 seconds doing so.

Thank you to the person/s in Addison who read an average of 2 pages per visit and spent 5 minutes on the site.

A big thank you to the persons in Portland (Oregon or Maine?) and Glasgow, Scotland, who spent 32 minutes reading an average of 6 pages. Please come again.

Thank you to the person/s in Seattle who visited several times, and spent more than 10 minutes reading an average of 5 pages. Despite the rain, Seattle is one of the best places I’ve visited in the USA.

Thank you to the people from Edinburgh, Oakland, San Francisco, Los Angeles, Tucson (again, fantastic place), Sydney, St Paul, Toronto, and Albuquerque (hi, Johnny) who visited more than once and stuck around for up to 11 minutes at a time.

To anyone who recognizes themselves in this list, and to all who are reading this now, thanks for looking at this recently-started blog. And if you take the time to leave a comment after you’ve read a post, I would love to start a conversation with you.
