I don’t have much to say today, but I did want to pop in and wish the website a Happy Birthday.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
I look forward to our continuing this journey together.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
