...to me! Yep, one year ago today, the first posting celebrating our trip to the Creation Museum launched the daily skeleton action figure parade. There have been 503 skeletons/skulls since, with no repeats. The figures (and their sources) can be found on this Flickr.com page.In that time I've: visited South America and Antarctica; said 'goodbye' to the greatest Grandmother EVER; extolled the virtues of the Macintosh and Battlestar Galactica ad nauseum (some might say ;-); given the Republicans FAR less grief than they deserve; been amazed/disturbed by the posts that get the most hits (cat enemas and Bigfoot hunting); read too many trash novels and watched too many movies; said "happy retirement" to one colleague and "welcome" to several others; taught the best (NSF program) and worst (Forensic Anthro) classes of my career; joined Facebook and Netflix thus increasing my "coolness" level to simply "lame"; watched Notre Dame suffer through the worst football season on record; and had another kittie join the tribe.
It is admittedly getting a bit harder to find a new skeleton/skull for each post, but I hope to make it another year before I have to dip back into the pool of characters. The Flickr.com "Skeleton Action Figures" group has grown to 210 members, which does help out considerably, I have to admit.
Thanks to all those who have commented over the year!! Keeps it fun!

Congratulations! There must have been some doubling up on skeleton action figures, as I seem to recall a number of days recently where I didn't see any, yet you have more than 365? (but who's counting!)
Hey Sue! Your participation in Facebook allowed me to find your blog and add it to my reader. Congratulations on the blog-i-varsary!
Congratulations, Sue! And much luck over the next year!
Yorke - "Random Bytes" explains the high number. I took a vacation from that entry for the last part of the summer, but it'll be back with the new semester.
BRNH -- who are you??
Daniel -- many thanks. See ya next week!
Congratulations on your blog-i-versary. You have such a way with words, starting with your journey to understand the beginnings of mankind. What a trip that was! I enjoy it all and look forward to many more entries.
