Five years ago I retired, washed my hair a few times, even got around to – finally! – dusting all my books. Then I came here and, in complete ignorance, choose a blog name that is also the title of a Woody Allen movie – thereby condemning myself forevermore to also-ran status on the search engines.
But here, I found something wonderful. I found a vibrant, interesting and often very funny community of people who care enough to speak up and to stand up for what they believe. I found men and women of all ages and backgrounds. I found you – and your blogs. And I followed you. I found bloggers producing literature, bloggers who could write for The New Yorker, bloggers who make me laugh, bloggers who taught me, bloggers who made me mad but from whom I learned to listen. Really listen.
Thank you.
Once before I noted my own anniversary and included the first post at Whatever Works. Here it is again:
Here’s to many happy and opinionated returns of this anniversary!

Your anniversary notice inspired me to look my first post as well, Moe. Turns out we are of similar vintage, blog-wise at least. Mine was in March of 2010.
Happy anniversary! 🙂

Moe, Belated cheers to you on your fifth. Interestingly, our anniversary dates are close as I just celebrated #6 with a dedication to the number … http://afrankangle.wordpress.com/2014/08/28/on-6/ … Once again, a toast to you for your class, wisdom, and wit.

I hadn’t really thought about it, but I seem to have just crossed the decade mark myself. Of course, my best year was the first. I translated a German news article to English, and it probably far outstripped the combined readership of everything else I’ve written before and since.
Anyway, congratulations!

Thanks for the good wishes one and all!
