I am sorry for those of you who have been spending your money like there’s no tomorrow, thinking that today would be judgment day and the rapture would be coming. Thankfully, that didn’t seem to happen… at least I don’t think it happened.

Unfortunately for the people who have been preaching that judgment day would be today (May 21, 2011), it appears that the organization’s website is down for the count. According to the DownForEveryoneOrJustMe.com website, it appears that FamilyRadio.com is down.

I don’t know if it’s down because its servers were hit with too much traffic, or perhaps it really was judgment day for the website. Whatever the case may be, the site doesn’t seem to be loading right now.

I guess the nice thing about having a blog, is that I can share some personal news.  Yesterday afternoon, my wife completed her five year graduate school program and was awarded her doctorate in Clinical Psychology (Psy.D.). She will now be known as Dr. Silver, so we are a Mr. and Dr. family – or is that Dr. and Mr.?

Once Karen finishes her year-long post-doctoral fellowship beginning in August, she will likely begin her own practice. I know a lot of people in this business can surely some psychological help, so just drop me a note if I should pencil you in for an appointment.

Karen will certainly make good use of KarenSilver.com, which was given to her as a wedding present from Rick Latona and his team after acquiring it from a company of the same name.

Congrats to Karen for her hard work!

It’s not often that I’m in New England for Patriots Day, but it’s a lot of fun. Not only is it a holiday in Massachusetts (friends have the day off from work), but the Red Sox play an 11:30am matinee, and of course, the Boston Marathon is run.

I read that Shane Cultra is running in the Boston Marathon today, and Karen and I are going to  Wellesley, Massachusetts (the half way point) to cheer him on.

Karen ran the New York City marathon last November, and I know how much of a personal challenge it is to run a marathon. I can’t even run 5 miles right now without a day off in between miles 4 and 5. Hope he makes his goal!

My blog hit 1,000,000 visits this evening, as I projected in a post this morning.  Thanks to all for the good wishes. Here are some stats for the one millionth visitor to my blog:

IP Location: Seattle, Washington

Article Read: Yext Tags to Rebrand on an $1,800 Domain Name Purchased from BuyDomains

Referrer: Email

Time: 10:06 pm EST

You know those websites that have flashing banners announcing that you are the 1 millionth visitor and you just won a prize?  You just have to answer a bunch of survey questions, leave your email address, provide your bank information, and promise your first born child, and you’ll get you iPad 2 delivered in 6-8 weeks.

Well, that’s not happening here. At some point today, the 1,000,000th unique visitor to my blog will arrive. There won’t be any blinking banners or audio to announce the 1 millionth visitor, but there is this blog post to signify the achievement.

Since I won’t really be able to track who that millionth visitor is, I want to say thank you for being a part of this special day. It’s quite an effort to blog every day and respond to as many questions/comments as possible, but I still enjoy doing it. It’s been great getting to know you, and I appreciate your time.

Here’s to another million uniques!
