On this Thanksgiving… Update: 11/22/2012

Original Post

On this Thanksgiving, I would like to give thanks for having had the opportunity to write this blog and for the readers and commenters who’ve participated over the last 12 months.

35,000 Views

A couple days ago, Butterly on Senior Issues passed the 35,000 view mark. Can you imagine two years ago, this single-story blog reaching this mark?

I know I didn’t! 

Of course, this blogs success does not rest on my shoulders alone.

For my part, I’ve tried to make these posts interesting, attractive, informative and entertaining; something different from other local bloggers, by using videos, graphics and official documents to support my findings and/or opinions. However, in the end, any success this site has achieved ultimately belongs to you; and on this Thanksgiving let me say thank you to those who’ve invested their time reading and commenting.

Special thanks!

Finally, a special thanks to Jim O’Brien, Mary Wynn-Ryan and Rick Biagi who gave this blog its start and who’s wacky Board-related activities have kept it going.

35,000 views would not have been possible without them!

To all of you, Happy Thanksgiving!

Of course, its just my opinion.

Update Begins Here

It’s been suggested I start an additional blog “The Park District Tattler” since PRPD Boards judgment is in question on other expensive and important issues beside the Senior Center debacle.

Be honest now!

What do you think?

Good idea?
