The Casual Optimist turns two today. Hardly a major milestone by all accounts, but I did want to take the opportunity to thank everyone who has supported the blog over the last couple of years.
The Casual Optimist is still here because of all of the people who have told me to me stick with it. I genuinely appreciate all the people who have given me pep talks and lent technical assistance; the designers who have given me the benefit of the doubt and agreed to be interviewed; the folks who have reached out via email, Twitter and Facebook; and, of course, the countless bloggers and journalists who keep me in material. Hopefully you all know who you are…
Lastly, it is also my wedding anniversary this week and I can’t thank I. A. A. enough for her continued patience and understanding over the last eight years. I don’t say that enough.
