Adams Blog Celebrates its Birthday at 1 Year Old

At 8:24 PM today, Adams Blog had an positively stupendous celebration (in my mind) of its age of 1 year. 294 entries have been posted in my history. This amounts to an average of 1 post every 1.24 days. Therefore, I see absolutely no reason why you shouldn't check the postings at least once every 2 days. Think of what you could be missing!!! I'll leave that for you to decide. Regardless, I think the inaugural year of Adams Blog has been a general success, if a somewhat shaky one at times. And so I wish you a happy New Year, and I am pleased to say that in 2 days I will be able to change © 2002-2003 to © 2002-2004. It's a great way to get people to think that we're 2 years old when we're really 1 here at Adams Blog (the ability to change a person's perception of reality is viewed by some as the ability of a master debater). In the merry spirit, I call you too to use the genitive incorrectly in sacrilege. Celebrate the essence of...

BLOG!

But I digress...

As a present to myself for this momentous occasion, I finally purchased my Bach Stradivarius Model 37 trumpet. Words cannot describe quite what it is like to play. There are extensive modifications, but the stunning richness of tone is kind of like... like molten 72% cacao chocolate. While my former trumpet from Elkhorn, WI was like a cup of hot chocolate. That's the difference laddies. But here's an interesting fact: Getzen is located in Elkhorn, WI right? So guess where Bach (owned by the Selmer superstructure or some such thing) is located? Elkhart, IN. How's that for funny? Not very. But still yet noteworthy. So anyway, the multitudinous thanks go to Randy Mueller of Wally's Music Shop. I thank thee.

In other news...

We just got 1.5 inches of snow in the last hour, and I think it's still coming down. And that's on top of about 2.4 inches of snow 2 days ago (which is now a solid layer of ice). I can only hope--hope, that is--we're breaking a 130 year trend of declining snowfalls.
