Two Years? I Feel So Old

Hard to believe, but today marks the second anniversary of One More Dying Quail's creation. A lot of amazing stuff happened last year, from Erin Andrews agreeing to do an interview with me to my son being born. The first development brought me tens of thousands of hits and is the reason I'm only about 4,000 visitors shy of 300,000; the second was probably the most amazing moments of my life, and, in retrospect, the absolute scariest.

There isn't really much to say about today, so I'll let some of my past work do the talking. Below, you will see my favorite posts that have appeared here at OMDQ in the past calendar year.

Do You Believe In Miracles? YES! (July 14, 2007) - You know how all of the Best Sportswriting Of Insert Year Here books have at least one area or sport that comes dangerously close to being over represented? Consider that a good analogy for my son's inclusion in this list.
