Good morning. How are you today? I am a bit tired and worn out from doing real work yesterday.

I have now been blogging for 6 months. It is hard to believe it has been that long. Reading back through my achieved posts it can be hard to remember all that was going on and all that I wrote about. Good times.

I wanted to take the time to thank my loyal readers. You know who you are, all 6 of you! I am serious, thanks for taking the time to stop by here everyday. I know that some days things around here are a bit slack. Trust me, it bothers me too. But some days I have nothing in the world to say. In fact, some days I get tired of politics and the world in general and wish to pull back into WunderWorld. That is my alternate universe where all my debts are paid, my kids are healthy and happy, Republicans actually restrain spending, the MSM has imploded and WunderWife and I are sipping Mai Tai’s on a secluded beach.

Reality comes back rather quickly though. But it is all good.

Blogging has been a great outlet for my frustrations and anxieties. I have also learned a lot about myself. I’ve had to question why I believe what I believe. After all, if I am going to be writing it down for the world to read, I better have my thoughts together to rebut any comments that I receive. That has helped sharpen my beliefs.

I still get most of my traffic from my sound files. After all, that is how this site started out. Blogging came as an after thought. But everyday I notice that more and more are stopping by and reading this blog because of what I have written. That is very gratifying and makes me want to forge ahead to make this blog even better. So thank you again to my readers. Thank you for passing my name around the blogsphere and sending more readers my way.

To those of you who are new here, make sure you check out the “About” section of the sidebar. I also have an essay section where I have converted some of my longer posts into essays. There are also older essays from before I became an official blogger. If you want to submit an essay for my “Guest Essays” section, please do. I really enjoy reading essays. Sometimes a topic can not be properly covered in a blog entry. So send your essays to me.

If you really get bored, look under the “Archives” section and go check out the “Really old stuff” and see my pre-blogging er…blogging. That is how my front page used to look. Yep, it was black with yellow writing. The first week of the actual blog, I used the same format until someone who I was begging for a blog roll link told me they would link to me if I did something about the God awful color scheme and layout I was using. It was either Viking Pundit or Willisims as they were the first to link to me. They were right. So I changed to the green layout and now WunderKraut v2.0 is up. I think most everyone agrees it was a good change.

Well I will stop blathering on about my blog and all. Just know that I really do appreciate the support you guys have given me. I hope that my writing will continue to increase in quality and that I can provide some value to the blogsphere.

Take it easy.
