Dear 50,000th Visitor, Sorry About the "Out To Lunch" Sign...

I checked my cumulative stats today and I've reached 51,000+ visitors since the start of the blog. I tend not to celebrate blogiversaries or things like that... I've been blogging a little over four years now. The Confidentials was born after the deletion of a successful blog that I once had called "Me and Misses Jones". That blog is long gone and the reason for it is a long story. Some days I really wish I had some of those postings back. And at the time I didn't know it, but I was reaching a graduation point of the following truth: Nobody tells me what to do. That lesson has served me quite well.
