Six Years

Five fingers, and a thumb? Maybe this explains why I haven't been writing/typing? Well, probably not.

Six years of blogging. Well, 5 years of blogging and then the last year of owning the blog but barely using the blog. I am surprised, and pleased, to see that people are still visiting the blog even though I have contributed little to it over this past year.


I am certainly not done with Frederick and Agnes although I have left them alone for over a year and I wonder what has developed between the two of them. We will have to watch and see.

The whole landscape of Dominance and submission and BDSM seems changed over the past six year. So much more prevalent and accepted these days, more outlets for opinions and perspectives; things like FetLife, Shades of Gray, and a gazillion blogs, so much more "out there" than it was six years ago. I am not sure if that is better or worse?

And there has been a nearly complete turn over of the blogs I discovered and followed 3 and 5 and 6 years ago. I know many people say, 5 years is a good run for a blog. Perhaps I have run my course? Who knows, I certainly hope not.

State Stat Stuff, with apologies

One of my readers stopped by and left a comment, innocent enough, but it struck me right up side the head. I realized that in my last post, I had gotten so enamoured with the exotic nature of my visitors home locations that I inadvertently had slighted, or ignored those visitors from right here in the U.S. So with my apologies, your visits and thoughts and comments are certainly no less valued or appreciated. During that same one week period I had the good fortune to be visited by more than half of the states:

Alaska, Arizona, California, District Of Columbia, Florida, Georgia, Hawaii, Illinois, Iowa, Kansas, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Nebraska, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, Ohio, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Texas, Virginia, Washington, and Wisconsin

Thank you one and all, no matter where you are.

Stat Stuff

I have read the blogs of others and the interesting discoveries they have made while slogging through their stats. Today I was hit with a smiliar "revelation". In just the first 5 days of this month I have had the honor of being visited by people from the following cities/countries. Even for someone who lives in a social hub city like Las Vegas, this is moderately amazing:

Australia, Bundaberg, Queensland
Australia, Melbourne, Victoria
Australia, Perth, Western Australia
Belgium, Mortsel, Antwerpen
Belgium, Brussels, Brussels Hoofdstedelijk Gewest
Canada, Calgary, Alberta
Canada, Surrey, British Columbia
Canada, Barrie, Ontario
Canada, Brampton, Ontario
Canada, Montreal, Quebec
Croatia, Zagreb, Grad Zagreb
Egypt
France, Paris, Ile-de-france
Germany, Berlin, Berlin
Italy, Spoleto, Umbria
Malaysia, Kuala Lumpur, Wilayah Persekutuan
Netherlands, Amsterdam, Noord-holland
Republic of Korea, Seoul, Kyonggi-do
Russian Federation, Moscow, Moskva
Spain, Santander, Cantabria
Spain, Barcelona, Catalonia
Stockholm, Stockholms Lan
United Kingdom, Bath, England
United Kingdom, Brighton, England
United Kingdom, Coventry, England
United Kingdom, London, England

Things like this serve as a reminder of how pervasive the Internet is, some little blog about the ramblings of a dirty old man (isn't that with Dom means?) is scattered all of the globe. If any of you distant travelers/visitors would offer a simple comment/hello it would be interesting to have your feedback.

I guess I better be a little more careful about the things I say, (yea, right).
