and i thought i didn't understand statistics

It's after 2 pm and I'm sitting in my office chair, vacillating between intense hunger pangs and a deep & abiding laziness that prevents me from actually walking down the street in search of some lunch. I'm complicated. Or just that lazy. I'll let you decide. But probably keep the verdict to yourself.

So, in lieu of actually eating anything, I opened up this blog. And, for the first time noticed a little tab in my Blogger window that says "Stats." The existence of such a blogger feature is surely not news to anyone with observational powers keener than those of an elderly, cataract-ridden pet. But, to me? News. So, i clicked on the tab, only to find that Google, blessed Google, tracks all kinds of information about my blog-- who's reading, how they got here, what their ATM PIN numbers are {just kidding. i think. at least i haven't noticed a tab for that one yet}.

So, I would like to give a big shout out to my readers in Canada, India, China, Colombia, Denmark and Hong Kong. I have no idea how you got here. How did you get here?

Also, whoever found my blog by Googling "forth house on the left" and "fourth house of the left" should either (a) take a long, hard look at the all-caps blog title at the top of this page, or (b) lay off the sauce when using the computer. You know who you are. I don't know who you are, but you do. If you are one of the blog readers from China, Colombia, Denmark or Hong Kong, I'll cut you some slack. If you are {as I suspect} my dad, I am not surprised.

Interestingly, 2 separate people found this blog by googling "the holy roller's poop looking" Way to focus in on the key words there.

Also, my dear friend Google tells me that I am the only person thus far who has looked at this blog today, so I don't expect this message to get around like wildfire.

But if it does, Google will know. And I will be watching. Goodnight, Denmark!
