One year Ago

Today marks one year that I have been doing this blog "From the Pressbox". I have been very fortunate that during this past year I have blogged 356 times. That's just short of once a day.
The first three weeks of this blog I think it averaged five hits a day. That would be Wes Bradshaw, Charles Alston and me checking the blog three times a day.

When football season got rolling and it looked as if the Gryphon football team might be special, Friday Nights and Saturdays were the first growth spurt as people started watching to see what I had to say about Gryphon football.

During the Legion playoffs when we had picked up some Northern and Nash Central viewers we had a hit total once of over two hundred hits in a day.

I thank each and every person who thinks that this blog has information that they can use.
Blogging every day has been a matter of luck as at my house with a teen age daughter and a wife who is in every group in Rocky Mount, computer time is limited.

It is unfortunate that our local radio stations have chosen that nothing locally is worthy of having live on the radio.

Sunday "The Rocky Mount Telegram" did not have one item on the front page of the sports section pertaining to local sports.

If it is sports related you almost have to be there to know what is happening. I understand that the only things I can talk about are the things that either I attend or you pass along to me.

I ask you to pass along an e-mail to me, or call me and let me know what scores you know. Find out from someone who knows how to get up with me. I will do my best to make sure the community knows what is happening.

We live in the so called modern world and yet there is less local news and sports and weather about Rocky Mount available to it's citizens since before cave drawings.

As we start year two with your help we will try to provide information worthy of a city of 60,000 people.

When I'm not there with your help we can tell the world on the web what happening in Rocky Mount and Nash County.
