Today marks 30 consecutive daily posts on the Hecat Original Blog, thanks to a brazen challenge from the estimable Unblahg. The HOB is now ahead by one, thanks to the Unblahg author's comfy couch. There will be no resting on laurels, however, as I've come to enjoy the mental stimulation and challenge of coming up with something potentially interesting each day. I've not yet managed to badger anyone into starting their own, but I still hope to inspire/guilt readers (you know who you are) into sharing their wit, if only in the comments section.

Anyway, ad-in.
