It’s a bloggy birthday!

Balls and Walnuts is one year old today. Ignoring my “this is a test” post of April 8, 2005, I hit my stride for realsies with this post about my (still unpublished) story, “My Troll Lover.” Unremarkable story and equally unremarkable post, although I do like the phrase, “Puns. Toe jam of the humor pantheon.”

I thank Pat for steering me towards Blogger, and I think Dean and Dave guided me towards WordPress. Pat may have had a hand in that too, come to think of it.

Balls and Walnuts used to be Shatter, of course. I thank Sheila for suggesting that while “Shatter” was interesting, it really wasn’t me. (Whereas Balls and Walnuts . . .)

I’m still trying to think up a good contest to celebrate our one year anniversary. Time to make dinner (falafel, one of my favorite easy dinners, and I think I’ll make bread pudding, too). Stay tuned; I think I might write about roast chicken tonight.
