Fourteen Years
I don’t have much to say today, but I did want to pop in and wish the website a Happy Birthday.
I started this blog on January 1, 2007. I liked the idea of the beginning of the site starting on the New Year. But, really, there’s no reason to think everything is going to change after the ball drops.
Here it is, 2021. And even though we all (including me) celebrated the passing of the awful year 2020, what’s really different now? We’re still in the middle of a cultural civil war, with seemingly half the country unable or unwilling to acknowledge the dangers of a devastating pandemic, the realities of systemic racism, and the results of a democratically decided election. Happy New Year.
Fear not, because I’m back now. Can a well-timed Shakespeare Anagram provide the necessary perspective to bring our country together on a particular issue? Can a weekly riddle provide distraction and entertainment during a stressful time? Can a… wait, what else do we do here besides riddles and anagrams? I remember there used to be more.
Well, maybe now is the time to bring it all back. Or maybe it’s time to start something new. Got a feeling ’21 is gonna be a good year. And if it’s not, we can just pretend that ’22 will come along and fix it all.
I look forward to our continuing this journey together.
