Morning!

Gooooooood Morning readers!

And how are you on this gray morning? (its gray in NYC at least, I don't know what the weather is like in the other places we have readers, like Saudi Arabia).

I'm drinking my coffee, as I'm sure you've come to expect, sitting in bed, and listening to a Leonard Cohen station on Pandora.  Does it get more perfect?

I know I've posted a lot about our page views in the past few days, and for hopefully a little while, this will be the last one, but we broke the 1000 page view mark last night.  Our site hasn't been up a full week.  We started blogging last Friday on a whim.  Fletch and I were finishing up lunch and didn't know what to do with the rest of our day.  So we set up the site and bought www.hireusplease.com for $12.  We can't say that 1000 pageviews in less than a week blew away our expectations, because we didn't have expectations.

By way of comparison,  consider the underpants gnomes episode of South Park.  The gnomes business model (btw, the Arrested Development-watching-readers just giggled) looked something like:

Step 1:  Steal underpants
Step 2: ?
Step 3: Make $.

By Comparison, here is our business model:
Step 1: Start blog
Step 2: ?
Step 3: ?

We had less expectations than the UNDERPANTS GNOMES!  So, a few hours shorts of a full week later, we've had over 1000 hits, and readers in such distant places as South Korea, Sri Lanka and Saudi Arabia.

Ok, so here is how my day is looking.  I don't know how much time I'm going to have to write.  I've agreed (for money!) to help a friend out with some clerical work around her office for a few hours.  Then later tonight, I'm putting in another shift at The Bar (again for money!).  So, I'm going to be busy, but I'll try to get something up in the few hours between these two commitments.

Please keep up the support, keep reading, keep clicking ads.  Its so appreciated.
