Out of the Toy Box Blog #300

According to my count, I have now written 300 blog entries. This is a moment of some significance for me as it means that, with an average of 500 words per entry, I have (and you have read) a total of 150,000 words. 

I love writing and particularly love writing this blog and sharing my thoughts with you. I know that you do not always agree with me (and some of you have let me know) but you have embraced this blog. I know this, of course, by the data I receive that shows how dramatically the readership has grown since its inception. I also know this from the many kind people who stop me at shows, in airports and even in public bathrooms to let me know how important you find it and how much you enjoy it.

I particularly want to take this moment, however, to thank those you who have written comments to the blog and made it far stronger through your interaction. I want to invite more readers to get into the fray and share your thoughts. I think we are all better for it.  I know I am. 

Now, on to the next 300.
