The Peasant's Sweet Sixteen Celebration!

No, my wonderful friends, I'm not now 16 years of age;

I left that milestone behind fifty-one years ago. But this

day is my 16th anniversary of publishing PWAP! 

We've now been together for these past sixteen years

enjoying each other's company and discussing the news,

especially that concerning government and economics, 

the financial state of our country, and sometimes checking

in on other countries and their political news. Examining

each story, picking out the good actors from the bad,

the adept from the inept, giving our praise and criticism,

our commendations and our condemnations, our welcomes

and our goodbyes, our appreciation and our opprobrium.

We've grown worldly but not not world-weary, wise 

but not wise-assed, older but savvier, and all the while 

keeping a positive outlook and looking out for the 

better and pointing the way to it. Doing our modest bit

to make for everyone a better world.

None of this would have been possible without you, 

my grand and loyal readers; Your grateful Peasant gives 

thanks for every single one of you! As of today The Peasant

is read and enjoyed in over 40 countries the world over!

And these past sixteen years have been sweet and a real 

treat! May we all have many, many more years together

enjoying this illuminating activity together, getting together

at this blog site every week! 

Many thanks everyone!
