100

Master loves numbers and number patterns and accumulations of things that can be counted -- like paddle strokes.  He regularly tallies up the number of hits we show from day to day and week to week and month to month here and at our other blogs.  He counts and averages and gauges how far we are from various milestones.  The numbers interest and intrigue and thrill Him. 

So, on Sunday, when I logged on and noted that our 100th follower was showing in our list, it was worth noting.  It is arbitrary, I know, but that 100th follower seems significant.  That is 10x10.  That is 10 more than 90.  A century's worth of people...

I've never really understood the whole FOLLOWER feature of Blogger.  To me, it is simply a relatively easy way to link our blog to other blogs, and I am sure that most of our followers have similar motivations.  However, the growing list of people who have visited here and are now, in some sense, following along with our adventures seem like part of some sort of extended family related to our little place.  It is an indicator of a level of participation.

Cruising around a bit, I found that there are blogs and twitterers who give prizes for the 100th follower, and I have nothing at all to offer, unless of course, said follower wants to stop by -- I am sure Himself could offer 100 strokes with something :-)
