I usually note the milestones of this blog by the 100s, but when the 1300 mark arrived, which was my post about a new way of displaying bike cop galleries on my website<\/a>, I did not want to delay announcing that gallery. Then I plum forgot (until now).<\/p>\n

Not much has changed in the last 3-1\/3 months since I celebrated the 1200 blog post milestone. What has been most popular on this blog? Finding a masculine gay man<\/a> — a perennial favorite search that lands thousands of visitors on this blog; How To Tell If You Have Vintage Frye Boots<\/a> — also an ongoing favorite, with many inquiries trying to determine what is “vintage” from the current Frye-branded much lower quality boots available these days; and finally, another ongoing favorite — how, when, where, and with what to wear cowboy boots<\/a>. Man oh man am I surprised by the vast number of guys who search the web anonymously about how to wear cowboy boots. <\/p>\n

During the last 100 blog post timeframe, my partner had successful brain surgery, my twin brother and his wife visited for a month while he retired from 32 years of service to our country; and I rode my Harley around my lovely home state and didn’t get lost (much.) We had a hot July, decent August, and very rainy September. <\/p>\n

My “new” job at which I started working last November is going well. Four articles or papers that I wrote were published in two peer-reviewed journals, one monthly Association newsletter, and as a chapter in a book edited by a well-respected researcher and professional colleague. One of the papers received a lot of attention internationally and was nominated for an award from my professional association, which I will find out about later. As a result of that (and perhaps doing a few more things right,) I got a promotion of sorts by moving off of conditional probation earlier than the one-year timeframe originally set out in my employment contract and getting a small raise. <\/p>\n

Life is going well, smoothly, and quietly. Not much else to report! Keep blogging!<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
