Happy In Bag

What began as a lark in 2005 has become one of the defining elements of my life. Blogging has been very good to me. I've made dozens of friends and inadvertently secured a significant amount of work as a direct result of this preposterous site. It's true that Happy In Bag is now less important to me than Plastic Sax and There Stands the Glass. The concept of ending Happy In Bag with this, my 1,000th post, appeals to me. But squirrels are still procreating, my pants remain ill-fitting and drivers of black SUVs continue to tailgate me. I need Happy In Bag. Thanks for reading.

    In terms of quality, M.V., you passed me a long time ago.

    I would curse you, U.L., but you're one of my nine crossover readers. I can't afford to lose you.

    My drift? The arbitrariness of numbers.

    How do you interpret the license plate? I see you, Mr. Enviromentalist snob, glaring at me in my gas guzzler, and could care less?

    1000 is a huge accomplishment, congrats. I really like the short format of HiB; I think that accounts for why you've been able to keep it good for so long.

    Glad you your staying! Arbitrary is a good thing.

    Thanks RG, GD and DLC!

    I'm not a clock-watcher, UL, but 1,000 represents a certain level of commitment. (Or a serious obsessive-compulsive disorder.)

    That plate is a Rorschach test, Rick. In this instance, I intended it to be read as follows:

    "I know that many people have mocked this Happy In Bag endeavor since its inception. I openly acknowledge its absurdity. And yet I persist."
