Grats, Les!

Stupid Evil Bastard (the blog, not the man) is 7 years old. Not many blogs can say that.

Now, some seven years later, we’re up to 6,104 entries (counting this one) and 72,877 comments. The average number of daily unique visitors is between 1,200 and 2,000 people and the amount of bandwidth consumed is way more than it probably should be. In the past seven years I’ve been laid off twice, moved from Canton to Brighton and then to Ann Arbor. I have had six different jobs and one honeymoon (we didn’t take ours until a year after we were married) to exciting Frakenmuth Michigan. My daughter grew up from the age of 11 to her current age of 18. I’ve been on Canada’s news show The National and been interviewed on being an out-of-work automotive employee. Best of all I’ve had the chance to interact with some of the most amazing people I have ever met both in comments here on SEB and via email/phone/in-person. 

Les is definitely on my short list of bloggers I’d like to meet in person some day. Well done, sir.
