I’d meant to kick off this year on Blam’s Blog with optimism by displaying the
soup can.

You may recall the concept if you’re a longtime reader. And if not, or really either
way, you can scroll back through its dozen or so appearances here — several of which mention its ancient origins via the eminent and prolific Mark Evanier. (I did swap in the bottle of Devil Tylenol from Hell that I cobbled together for a friend a couple of times, and the can also went up on a few occasions, transiently, in the sidebar.)
The idea is to exhibit said can when there will be little or no other content for a while. So why optimism? I’ll explain in my next post or perhaps the one after that.
