My Blog
Traffic Patterns
I have been working on this site for over 10 years, consuming literally thousands of hours.
Hopefully all that effort shows. I thought you might be interested in some of the mechanics.
We just finished the Christmas rush. Most of the traffic is due to favorable listing by Google, and to a lesser degree Yahoo.
Here is a graph of page views from August 2004 to December 2006.
There's a pattern here... LARGE peaks at Christmas... SMALL peaks at Easter.
This has been going on for several years, and it is just as it should be... because this site is centered around Jesus Christ.
You can see even more history (though not as accurate) on
Alexa.com.

The Blog is launched!
So what took me so long to start a blog? I don't know. Maybe I'm a late adopter. Anyway, let the random ramblings begin! :-)
I spent the first 2 weeks of November working over in England (guess it should first be clarified that I live in Texas).
It was no vacation... just a lot of work... but the folks I met were very friendly, and I had some time on the weekends to be a tourist.
I'm always on the lookout for interesting things to photograph, especially cathedrals and old architecture.
Be sure and check out the art effects I used.
Before I left for England, a fellow named Ed Rieck emailed me saying he wanted to send me his music CD.
Sure, why not? I never know what to expect, but when I get back home here is this great CD in my pile of mail.
Ed asked me to include any songs I like on this site, so I did. A lot of his songs are targeted for Christian radio. So far I have added these:
It Is Well With My Soul
Fool's Paradise
Don't Give Up On Me
Too Many Regrets
I'll try to cover diverse topics in this blog, not just music.
If you want a history of the site updates, be sure and visit the What's New page.
