I awoke a few days ago, and without any fanfare or celebration, I was greeted with 1,003 followers on my Twitter account. The last time I'd looked, it was flirting dangerously close at 980 something...

 So I just wanted to say a big thank you to those folks who are now following me on Twitter. I hope my tweets are worth the time it takes to scan 140 chars ;-)

 Thank you, thank you very much. I'll be here all week. Try the veal.
