Follow Me (Please)

I don't ask my readers for much, just to comment now and then when something I write touches you. But today I am making the big "ask."  I am asking you to declare that you are a "follower" of my blog.  Why?  I don't know.  I just feel like it.  One of the Groovies put the challenge out for 100 people to publicly admit they follow her blog.  She gently cajoled them until she reached her goal.    All I know is that more people follow my blog than it appears right now, so I'm just going to ask and see what happens.  I'm either going to get a gold star or banished to the back of the classroom.
