Shakespeare Teacher is now thirteen years old. If it were a kid, it would be ready for its bar mitzvah. <\/p>\n

I usually get reflective about the blog on its birthday, but I pretty well covered ten of the thirteen years in yesterday’s Decade in Review<\/a>. So instead, I’ll reflect on the year now being 2020.<\/p>\n

Whenever the odometer flips an extra digit, it throws me for a loop. I’m old enough to remember when 2020 felt like a year in the distant future. Even after the 2016 election when all eyes turned to 2020, it seemed so far away. I turn 50 this year, so my own odometer is about to flip an extra digit as well. There’s no more difference between 50 and 49 than there is between 2020 and 2019, but it feels qualitatively different.<\/p>\n

Anyway, this website now has 1,299 posts in 124 categories and 3,575 approved comments. Come join me tomorrow at 10am, as we flip three digits of the odometer with a brand new Thursday Morning Riddle.<\/p>\n

Thanks to everyone who has visited, participated, or otherwise supported my now-teenager over the years. And welcome to new visitors as well. We’ve got some miles on us now, but the journey continues apace!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
