And another blogiversary

Oh man, I let this one slip right past me.  So I’m sneaking it into the blog in its “rightful” place.  Full disclosure—although it’s displayed as a January 2 publication, marking the day-of-the-year of my opener in 2003, it’s actually being written on January 10. 

Is that cheating?  Sure, but it’s my blog and I can do what I please with it.

Happy blogiversary to me

Can you believe it?  Nine years of these very occasional musings.

According to reliable sources (well, as reliable as I’m going to look for), the traditional gift for the ninth anniversary is “pottery / willow”.  I don’t think they’re talking about pottery made of willows, but really ... how do those two go together?  The modern selection is much easier to comprehend; it’s leather.  A belt?  Shoes?

Not a saddle, thanks.
