Sidenote: the hit counter that I put on back in August 2005 (or so) has me at 4998. It is taking EVERY LAST CELL IN MY BODY not to just reload the page a few times to see it turn over.

Also, I'm optimistic we'll hit 10000 before, say, October 2009. Open question: where do you think I'll be by then? (optional part b: where do you think you'll be then?)
