Well, that's a wrap for April.
I've enjoyed this month of blogging way more than any other month I have done. 
Probably because of you, my wonderful blogging friends. 
Thanks for being there and supporting me this month.
I really, really appreciate it. 
You are the best.
Go ahead and take a moment to give yourself a self-high-five.


Below is the running list of topics I had for the month.
If you want me to expand on one of them, let me know and I will be happy to oblige. 
My post on 4/4/23 was far and away the most popular post of the month, which is interesting because it didn't have hardly any words to get the random Internet search. It was just a meme dump.
My post on 4/24/23 had the most comments because it was my birthday and I had photographic proof of Elvis grabbing my money maker. 
  1. Welcome to April
  2.  153 days below 60 degrees It's never been this cold this long, on record: Boise set a record yesterday for the most consecutive days under 60 degrees - 154 days. The previous record was 153 days set on April 2, 1899.

  21. George Carlin said, “Think of how stupid the average person is, and realize half of them are stupider than that.” How prophetic he was. He even said this before Facebook, Twitter, and other social media platforms became a thing. George was one of the greatest.

    I've never tried to blog every day for a month but I may have done so during the early days of the pandemic. I wanted to be able to go back and see what I was doing and how I was feeling. Extreme boredom and lots of walking. Congratulations on your interesting posts in April! I salute you!!

    I am amazed over and over by your ability to set goals and accomplish them. I don't think I have it in me - too easily distracted I guess. Well done! I always enjoy what you have to say.

    Good job, I sure couldn't do it. I'd go bonkers and everyone else would be bored!

    My goodness. A quotation attributed to George Carlin that was actually by George Carlin? Will wonders never cease?

    This is probably one of my favorite months of your blog too, simply because you posted more often. Hint, hint.
