Stats
I had one day with over 800 visitors for the first time and three of my contests attracted over 300 entries. I also read my 100th book during this quarter. I am well on track to pass my total of 125 books read last year.
Oh and happy German Reunification Day! Thanks to this holiday falling on a Saturday this year, all stores are closed all weekend. We wanted to buy a few things last night to tide us over until we saw that lines were at least 40 people deep...
