The Smarmy Carny

Just as I posted precisely at 09:00 EST on Saturday morning, I end the Blogathon by posting precisely at 09:00 EST on Sunday morning.

Total blog posts: 53. (This is an odd coincidence, considering this blog was originally named "53 Things To Do in Zero Gravity.")

But what has the Blogathon taught me?

1. You can make popsicles out of pickle juice.
2. People don't comment on your blog when you break your blog's commenting feature.
3. For some unknown reason, Grape Nuts continue to enjoy a mysterious level of popularity.
4. Children with terminal illnesses have a special, unique attitude toward life.
5. I am Superman.
6. Some celebrities and companies give a lot more of their time and money that we ever hear about.
7. People don't realize the value of Fruity Pebbles these days.
8. I love spending time with my family.
9. In the long haul, my eyes are my weakest link.
10. I am one of the first inhabited planets in the universe.
11. A half hour really isn't that long if you want to put together a valuable post, chat with people, and surf all the Blogathon blogs!
12. Scrabble is trying to tell us something.
13. I end up listening to the Reading Rainbow theme instead of actual music.
14. I get hungry when I forget to eat.
15. My wife likes to blog — she just doesn't know it yet.

Here's my status at the close of Blogathon:

Status: I'm finally tired. The last 1.5 hours did me in. My eyes are very tired. My back and neck are tired. It's time for rest.
Verified sponsorship total: 6 pledges for $117.00
Unverified sponsorship total: 7 pledges for $129.00

To those kind souls who sponsored my endeavor this year: My mother thanks you. My father thanks you. My sister thanks you. And I thank you.

Blogathon is finished.
