I started this blog in January, 2001, so I guess my blog is now an adult! At first, I thought that was really an accomplishment. Especially just to be able to stay in one place and intact and live for pretty much 99.9% of that time. But when I think about it a little more, I realize I’m already 56 years old, so only a small portion of that is on this blog. But I guess that just gives me more potential content in flashbacks and experience.

I’m trying to remember something, anything, about 2001. It looks like I was only posting about once every month back then, so there’s not much to work with here, but I might be able to find something just to reminisce.

Here’s what my website looked like back then (02/09/2001), courtesy of the Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/20010209025346/http://www.jimtrottier.com/

Google knows everything. I’ll go take a look and post more “flashbackie” stuff soon. I like looking back and reading those old posts. I find it amusing how I referred to myself in the third person as “Jim”. I guess I assumed it was a family blog, so I wanted to refer to everyone as if everything was written by the family. It just seems weird. But I don’t want to go in and correct it now, because that’s just how I wrote back then. I’ll correct obvious typos I find, but nothing that would actually alter the writing itself.
