13,380: My Personal Record

Now I can die happy!

21 August 2016. I just checked my stats.

Thank you to everybody and anybody who’s commented on, recommended or perused my stories and responses especially in the last 28 days.

I have broken through the 13,380 views per month barrier, yes, shot past even.

Thank you for helping me make 13,000 hits per month happen. Thank you for browsing my stories.

You and the 13,379 people like you have helped me to reach this landmark.
