Thanks for the 15 Minutes of Fame

For a short period of time, our blog was popular. Very popular. Since we started this blog, we have had a very small, but steady stream of readers (generally about 20-30 unique readers a day). A week ago tonight, somehow the link to our recent funny cake blog entry was posted on a popular humor website - and the visits started to flow in. Last Sundays we were ranked as one of the most visited blogs on the internet. Since last Sunday, each successive day has brought about half as may visitors as the day before. Within a couple days, I expect that we will be back down to our normal number of loyal visitors. On the bright side, we finally got visitors from each of the 50 states (I was beginning to wonder if you folk have internet access in Wyoming). We now have had visitors from over 75 countries and 1400 different cities.

For those who stumbled upon this blog and can't figure out the theme, don't worry, it's not you - there isn't one. My wife and I started this blog when we moved to NYC from a slower part of the country so that family and friends could keep up with our culture shock. What was intended to be a nine-month adventure has developed into an indefinite stay as we transformed from tourists into busy working professionals. As our lives changed, so did our blog. Our new and exciting experiences are no longer new and exciting - it's just life. So, the blog is now an eclectic combination of whatever I feel like posting. Surprisingly, Wife - who was the one who insisted on starting the blog - lets me do most of the posting.
