I’d like to take a moment to thank my readers, including:

• My longtime, dearly-beloved regulars;
• The thousands of folks who have visited me here at Fish & Bicycles since I was Freshly Pressed a few weeks ago;
• And everyone who caught my Best of Fish & Bicycles series while I was on vacation soon after.

As a result of the sheer volume of visitors from Freshly Pressed, as well was the fact that for most of my vacation I was unable to use my computer or iPhone for more than a few minutes at a time, I wasn’t able to acknowledge much less respond to everyone. And while I have a disclaimer on my About page, declaring my inability to engage with everyone who visits, I still feel a need to express my thanks today.

To have been able to take a break from the blog for 10 days and still see notifications for new Likes, Comments and Follows filling up my email inbox while I was on the road, made me feel really, really good.

So, simply, thank you!
