4 YEARS OLD

THE "HAPPY CAMPERS BLOG" IS FOUR YEARS OLD TODAY.  THAT'S A LOT OF STORIES, TRAVELS, ADVENTURES, AND BULL SHIT.

1,220 POSTS, 3,550 PICTURES, AND 96,000 HITS.  FOUR YEARS AGO I WOULD HAVE NEVER BELIEVED IT.

THINGS CHANGE FAST ON THE INTERNET.  TODAY IT'S ALL ABOUT SOCIAL NETWORKING, FACEBOOK, TWITTER, YOUTUBE, MYSPACE, ETC.  I HAVE ALL THOSE ACCOUNTS, BUT ONLY USE THEM TO SNOOP ON ALL MY OLD FRIENDS.  I ESPECIALLY LIKE TO SEE THEIR PHOTOS.  IT'S FUN TO SEE HOW ALL THOSE FRANKVILLE KIDS TURNED OUT AND WATCH BABY JACK GROW UP. 

WE STILL PREFER THE BLOG FORMAT.  WE THINK IT TAKES A LITTLE THOUGHT AND EFFORT TO WRITE A BLOG, INSTEAD OF USING YOUR CELL PHONE TO POST WHAT YOU'RE DOING RIGHT NOW ON TWITTER.

BEING PINNED DOWN BY THE ECONOMY, WE QUIT BLOGGING DAILY ABOUT A YEAR AGO.  THAT DECISION CAUSED OUR READERSHIP TO DROP BY ABOUT 50%, FROM 120 READERS A DAY TO 60 A DAY.

SO NOW THE QUESTION IS:  DO I HAVE IT IN ME TO GO ANOTHER FOUR YEARS?  WHAT DO YOU THINK?

Hey Rex, I sure think that you can blog at least another four years. Glad you and Mary had a safe trip to the midwest. I'm still waiting for that pic that you took of that HOT craps dealer at Binions. Stan
