Three year blog anniversary

So last week I was so busy I forgot to buy a cake and blow out the candles for the third anniversary of the blog. We’re now over 500 posts here on “My Thoughts: Random and Related,” and it’s been fun bringing you, the loyal readers, photos, videos, and the stories behind the scores.

In three years I’ve been to each corner of the country, and I’ve had a blast doing so. I’ve finally fulfilled a life-long dream of meeting my hero and role model Mark Martin as well.

This was the second time I got to stand by Mark Martin at Indianapolis Motor Speedway's Brickyard 400 media day (IMS.com photos)

I’d go through and recount all my favorite tales, but I’m sure you have your own. If you’ve got some of your

favorite stories I’ve ever told, let me know in the comments section. Feel free to click on the drop down lists on the right side of the page to see all my posts.

I’m also considering making some money off of blogging. Google has an option to “monetize” my blog, and I’ve held back because I don’t want unwieldy ads in-between posts and floating around the page.

Let me know your thoughts on adding advertisements to make money on the blog in the comments section too.

Three years down, and 500 posts in, it’s been a fun, fun ride, and I can’t wait to bring you folks more. Thanks so much for reading and responding to my work. I enjoy having feedback for my writing, and feel free to leave me notes here, on Twitter or in any other place (the Markaholics know there’s a thread devoted to my blog where you can leave me feedback).
