For me, Hokum always has been a bit of a five-finger exercise. I don’t work very hard at writing blog posts — I doubt there’s a post on here that took me more than an hour to draft, and most were written in a matter of minutes — and with the exceptions of links on my Twitter and Facebook accounts, I’ve never promoted the blog in any way. It’s just here so I can do a little writing for sport.

I bring this up because Hokum just surpassed 1,000 monthly page views for the first time in its three-plus years of existence and is likely to get about 1,200 views for June. That’s not a number I ever thought I’d see around here and it’s not at all bad for a personal blog, especially a personal blog written by someone of my generation. Thank you for reading!
