Of Marines and Bracelets

My younger son bought me a bumper sticker the day he graduated from boot camp at Parris Island - DANGER - Retired Opinionated Marine on Board.  Yep, that would be me.

There was a big to-do in the news the other day about Marines wearing unauthorized bracelets while in uniform. I jumped on it and wrote a quick commentary news article and submitted it several hours before the Yahoo! Contributor Network news desk opened in Denver. It was delivered to Yahoo! News a few hours later, but not published.

I’m a Millionaire – Now What?

I finally made my first million page views on YCN last Thursday.  I didn’t think I’d ever get there but now that I have, what next? I’ve kept track of my progress daily in a spreadsheet and it seems funny to no longer be fussing with the calculations every day.

Ok, new goal.

I started publishing on AC in June 2008 but only wrote a few articles before going into hiding for about a year, so I figure it took me just over two years for my first million page views (PVs).
