When I started blogging on 22 November 2004, things were quite different. We were living in Dublin and our daughter was a twinkle in my eye. My site was hosted on Blogger.

I remember starting out blogging - so many questions. Would anybody read it? If they read it would they comment? If they commented would they forcefully disagree with what I had to say? If they forcefully disagreed with what I had to say would I be able to come back with a witty retort?

I suppose the big question should have been - would I still be at it three years later. Well, here I am, still plugging away.
