I think it was baseball legend Satchel Paige who said, "Don't look back; something might be gainin' on ya." Well, I violated that principle today and scrolled down to the hit counter on Parkway Rest Stop, a "blogchild" of mine written by my cousin James back in the Garden State. Lo and behold, the guy's cracked 15K unique visitors and will be passing me by any day now.

No wonder. Jimmy has cranked out some amazing stuff, most notably his true tales of Army boot camp and the fictional exploits of Master Sgt. John "Jack" Steele, Adjunct Professor of Law. He just made the Amish Vanities list, too, and so the new readers will doubtlessly just keep a-comin'.

And he's got a farookin' (as he would put it) logo on the way!

O.k., I'll admit, part of me is mighty jealous. But the rest of me is kinda proud. Congratulations to James!
