We all love a challenge, and I decided to sign up for The A to Z Blogging Challenge, which requires you to publish an article for every day in April except for the 4 Sundays, with each article being related to the appropriate letter of the alphabet.
Since today is the 1st of April, and the first letter of the Alphabet is A, guess what!
April means that we ought to be well into Spring, at least in the Northern Hemisphere. If you live “down under” and the weather is decidedly Spring like, then maybe the recent earthquake in Japan did have a serious effect when if knocked the earth’s axis somewhat.
The First Of April is also April Fool’s Day, which is when people play tricks on each other, and it’s really fun to do and to watch their reactions, especially if they are gullible.
Last year on April Fool’s Day I published an article on Associated Content entitled A Most Amazing Story, which told of a really unusual incident that happened when I took my dog for a walk in the woods a few years ago.
I hope you have a chance to read the story, I think you might like it, and I wrote a sequel the following day to tell the truth behind it, but I guess I must have written it a little too convincingly, since a lot of people still commented on it and how amazing it was.
Well enjoy your April Fool’s Day, and don’t forget to return here tomorrow and see what 2nd April holds in store.
If you like this article, please can you help our struggling blog by sharing it. We love Twiter, Facebook, Digg, Stumbleupon etc, as well as any other sites that you like to share on.
If you are a new visitor to Off The Record, then Debbie and I wish you a warm welcome, and hope that you will stick around, and of course return.

I’m going to be blogging on A tomorrow – you’re a day ahead of me I see! This should be fun. R.C.
I am on UK time though, so technically this was posted 1 minute past midnight in the UK 🙂
Uhhh…wish I would’ve thought of April 😉 Gonna check out your AC stuff now.
Happy A to Z! Look forward to the rest of your posts in April!
Tony, so basically we have to write a blog from the 1-26 of april? One for each letter of the alphabet?
That’s correct, except there are no blog entries on the 4 Sundays in April, so it runs from 1st to 30th, if that makes sense. It should be fun to do, and I have enjoyed working on the first 6 entries. Only 20 to go… I scheduled them to be released on the correct day so I could write them in advance.
A is for April. I have been reading lots of today’s challenge blogs and so far you are the first to come up with such an obvious A in a an April blog. Well done. Glad you are doing the challenge too.
Off to a great start, Tony!
Well I’m glad to see you haven’t dropped out Tony as it’s your fault I’m doing the challenge on not just one of my blogs, but two of them!
Looking forward to seeing what you come up with for B.
Nice first entry! I am loving this blog challenge! 😀
I feel like I’m following you all over the internet, first Squidoo the past few months, then Best Reviewer, Twitter and now I discover you have a blog! Glad you’ve joined the challenge!
Hi Tony! I just discovered your blog through the A-Z Challenge. I loved the story of your unusual walk with your dog! I’m looking forward to reading more, best of luck with the rest of the challenge.

I had forgotten today was April Fool’s day. It’s been that busy. It’s always good to meet new folks.
Nice start to the Challenge. Hope your having fun with it.
Contrary to my usual practice of subscribing to comments, to save time during challenge I will not be doing so during April. If you want to respond to my comment , please email me directly from your email notification for the comment.
Thanks.
