So far we don’t have an actual medal, only this drawing of one which we have been authorized to post.Some of these blogs on the list seem impressive such as NJ Monthly Magazine, NJ Biz, NJPAC, Save Jersey, NJ TECH weekly. But so far there is no invitation to go to Oslo, Norway for an award ceremony with the King; or even the Queen. I was notified by email, so we haven’t yet scheduled a black tie dinner dance to celebrate.
Learned about the honor from the founder of Feedspot.com Anuj Agarwal
And here’s a photo of Eileen and myself, a few years ago, wondering when we would make this list. Don’t know where we were, but it looks like we have been institutionalized.
And we just found out that love is strange:
EILEEN AND PAUL. PG is on the right.
MICKEY AND SYLVIA: (I think they sang this at our wedding and they sang it in the movie Dirty Dancing.)
Where else can I attack the Neptune Township Committee as Nick and the Knuckleheads and OGCMA as Ocean Grove Counting Money Association? Almost as much fun as surfing!
Congrats!
Over the years I have tried to get the local papers to report on the very serious issues that plague OG. I have even heard from the Press that they are tired of reporting on OG. I have found that papers are not filled with so much of what is called fake news as much as what I call nit wit news. The last pathetic report on the Warrington in the Press was a perfect example.
The people of OG are so very lucky that Blogfinger has given us a place to hear of, address, and voice our concerns on the many serious issues we are facing in our community.
The recognition that this Blog has received is truly deserving.

Sorry if I missed anyone, but this is a blog, so if you do something to help us, we will add you to this list and if I remember anyone, while I am trying to remember where my keys are, I will add you as well.
The local news by Blogfinger comes directly from the citizens of OG, and is not just the ‘Fake News’ that the Neptune Township Committee hands out to the Local Press.
Congratulations
Congratulations!
You keep us informed, entertained, and all to music!
Whoo Hoo!!! Every once in awhile, the good gets noticed. Glad to see your unflagging work getting the recognition it deserves.
But the good news is that the International Colonoscopy Blog has fallen way behind. Evidently their preparation was inadequate.
Great job Blogfinger! #35 – not too shabby. I see you beat the Divorce Lawyer blog (40) and the NJ Farmer blog (60). Of course there is room for improvement as you lost out to a weather blog (25) and some blog called NJ Bites (26).
All kidding aside – congrats!
