What A Swing!

     It was an emotional few days for the Kornerman this week...........from the penthouse to the outhouse you might say.
     A real high "high" Friday when we noted that very close to 500 viewers had come on board Wednesday through Thursday. The Kornerman remembers shooting for 200 "lookers" when we first began. Then, we eventually got to 300, then, surprisingly to us, on to 400. Now, continued growth. We're thrilled to be in such esteemed company.
     However, our emotions came crashing down when we realized yesterday and this morning that none.......that's like none......zilch........not a single one or two or three of those nearly 500 viewers had a story or memory to relate. Not even a comment.
     Sorry!!
