I’ve decided to count down to Thinksgiving, and take a moment each day to think about things I’m thankful for.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Number Eight:\u00a0<\/strong>\u00a0People who click on the ads on the blog.<\/p>\n

I really, really appreciate it.\u00a0 Both of you who’ve taken a moment and clicked the stupid ad, and let the ad page load all the way.\u00a0\u00a0I know you’re not interested in whatever’s being advertised, and no one\u00a0expects anyone to actually buy anything from one of those ads, but the difference between “looking at” the ad and “clicking on” the ad, is, as they say, the difference between the lightning bug and the lightning.\u00a0\u00a0 This blog has brought me hours of joy, a place to rant and an audience with whom to do so, and about sixty seven cents.\u00a0<\/p>\n

So thank you for clicking.\u00a0 Both of you.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The rest of you, if you’ve got a minute or two before your next meeting – think about clicking the ad.\u00a0 I know it’s dumb.\u00a0 But next year, I’ll be thanking YOU in this space!<\/p>\n
