And the “my” to which the title refers is not me, but rather The Dassler Effect itself.

Tomorrow, this iteration of The Dassler Effect will be exactly one year old. And I am very pleased to note that it has had a good run. Thank you, readers/viewers, so much.

The statistic that sticks out to me the most is the number of tags I have created. Perhaps that has something to do with being a librarian and wanting to classify things or from having been a “word” centered protestant thus far in life or simply because I just like words so much.

Whatever the reason, I am hoping that this blog will present more of my own words in the coming year as I would like to get back to writing a bit more. If you are here mostly for the photos, though, do not be dismayed. They will be here, too, along with contests (haiku and photo and who knows what else) which may feature your work as well!

Oh, in truth, I, too, have a rather significant birthday coming up (groan!) but that will have to wait for another post.
