An Ordinary 14th Anniversary for “Don’t Blink”

Another year in the books! Last week I marked the 14th anniversary of Don’t Blink. I still remember penning my first several blog entries from my bachelor’s pad bedroom I rented shortly after I graduated college.

I celebrated the 14th anniversary of my “Don’t Blink” blog this month.

More than 2,700 blog posts later, I am still writing. Only I am no longer a bachelor and I graduated college a long time ago.

I guess that’s why my wife wrote “going faster than you think” on the latest homemade blogging anniversary sign she made me. It seems like just yesterday I was thick in the festivities for the big 10-year anniversary of my blog—how has another presidential election cycle and summer Olympiad passed so quickly?

Well, I guess time flies when you are blogging. 😂

Time goes by fast when you blog so Don’t Blink!

I don’t think I have too much to write about this non-milestone anniversary. In the past I have made threats about ceasing blogging or I have highlighted significant posts from the previous years. I won’t be doing either of those things to mark this particular anniversary, but I will make one observation: it seems like the number of in memoriam posts continue to increase each year. That’s distressing.

But on a happier note, I sure have enjoyed authoring this blog over the past 5,110+ days. Even greater than my enjoyment is my appreciation for those who consistently continue to visit brentreser.com to read, subscribe, and provide feedback. Thank you.

Thanks for reading my blog. 

When my 15th anniversary rolls around next year, I will plan to do something a bit more thoughtful than this rather vanilla blog post. But until then, please continue to keep reading—I will try to make it worth your while. Don’t Blink.
