Statistics -
Having an orderly mind, New Year's is a pleasant time for me. I have a list - by month - of family and friends' birthdays. Newborn babies get the year posted beside their date so that I always know how old the kid is on their birthday. I go through the 2016 calendar writing them (in order by date) in the appropriate month. This makes sending cards on time -- and knowing to buy them in bulk for that next month - easy.
I have another, rather doleful list of the deaths of family members and friends. I started it when I realized that I couldn't remember when So-and -So died. Actually, it's two lists. "Deaths" for humans and "Cats" for our departed pets.
Casting a Critical Eye
As of 1/1/2016 I had written 2,383 posts with 73,444 page views. Dividing post numbers by 365 (# of days of the year) I got a total of 6.52 years' worth of writing. Dividing blogs written into views averaged 30 readers per blog.
You made this possible and I thank you all very much.
Blacks Have a Better PR Machine Than Whites or Any Other Skin Color

It's a fledgling strike at the Oscars and it's call #OscarsSoWhite. The site is annoyed that there are comparatively few black nominees. This confused me because innocently enough I thought the Oscars were awarded to whoever did the best job in their field that year. I apologize for my error.
In other headlines, #BlackLivesMatter* disrupted a diner by showing up and presumably bleating their gripes. I can tell you that I have been in my share of Long Island diners and if anyone - black, white, purple - whatever - showed up and tried to interfere with a diner's meal, he or she would get a fork stuck into them. Eating is serious business among the Diner People.
*Not to pick favorites, but ALL lives matter.
