I guess if a month goes by without any posts here at The Hot Iron, then that next post should have some significance to it. It just so happens that today, December 30, marks the anniversary of this humble blog going live. And December 30, 2021 marks 15 years since that first Hello World post.

Thank you to all who are reading this now, and to those who have read what I have written here over the years. Where I don’t often hear from readers, stats say people are reading, so I don’t feel like I am talking to myself. I sometimes equate this to my days in college radio when I would do a great show and ask for requests, yet the phone would never ring. However when I would run into people on campus or out on the street, they would tell me they listen, and even mention songs I played so I knew they were sincere. Of course the balance of sharing information and my ego are heavily in play when I write.

What will this 15th year of blogging have in store? We’ll see.
