Thanks to all of you readers, this has been the best month in the history of this blog. Wait, I should not put it that way. That has been the best month in the history of this blog that did not include being Freshly Pressed. That happened last year and created a stats page that looked like rat going through a snake.
This month has been consistently good with you guys showing up to read whatever stupid stuff I put on the screen. The most read post was something I write a long time ago called Let’s Go Peay! That was followed by:
You Never Know What You are Going to Learn at the First Presbyterian Church
The Legend of the Shadow Horse Gang
Hey, Nashville! Be a Real Music City and Build an Amphitheater
Things I Learned at a Cher Concert
Sandy Springs Park – My Personal Field of Dreams
Movie Wisdom – Burt Reynolds Edition
Many of year follow this blog and check in from time to time. However, others get here through a search engine. This month, the most popular search terms were:

May 2014 has been an important month in the SBI World.
To further commemorate, I decided to throw in a little history. I am a historian, after all.
May 2004 – Terry Nichols was convicted for his role in the Oklahoma City bombing.
May 1994 – Nelson Mandela was inaugurated as South Africa’s president.
May 1984 – The World’s Fair opened in New Orleans.
May 1974 – India successfully detonated its first nuclear weapon.
May 1964 – Congress declared that bourbon as a “distinctive product of the United States.”
May 1954 – Roger Bannister became the first person to run a mile in under four minutes.
May 1944 – The USS England sank six Japanese submarines in two weeks.
May 1934 – The Dionne children, the first quintuplets to survive infancy, are born.
May 1924 – J. Edgar Hoover was named head of the Bureau of Investigation.
May 1914 – Woodrow Wilson signed a Mother’s Day proclamation.
Again, thanks for making May a great month.

Super. And oh! May of some eminently forgettable year I was born.
Happy Birthday
Thanks!

Well deserved! Oddly May has also been my best month since November 2012 which had both the election and hurricane Sandy to liven things up. This is also the month my son was born, making it my favorite 🙂
Happy Birthday to your son.
Congratulations! Your post made me check, May was my best month since February 2013! In March 2013 Google made some changes to its search engine which cut my hits in half virtually overnight. I have never recovered to the previous position but it has been steadily improving.
Keep posting and I will keep reading!
Thanks. I have no idea how Search Engines work. Total mystery.
Congratulations!! And keep it up!
Thank you. I’ll keep on writing.
