Greetings to all and welcome to my new blog 'Drumming At The Table'. A unique title, no? It stems from memory of a time when, as a youth, my parents would tell me to STOP drumming at the table during meals. It did not matter if we were at home, a family holiday gathering, out to eat at a local restaurant, it was a habit. Just like Gloria Estefan says...the rhythm is going to get you! So you see the tie-in here. Food and music. Two of my favorite things. Couple with that travel and life lessons and you pretty much have this figured out. But why a blog and why now? Let's briefly investigate.
One resolution I made for the year 2015 is to refresh my mind and take a respite from the mind-numbing social media device that is Facebook. Oh the humanity! During this self-imposed hiatus I dedicated myself to get back into the lost are of reading...books. A month and a half in and two books down (we can discuss later) I began to get the itch to write. Not that I ever have written much of anything besides process documents, press releases, flowcharts, and other work-related nonsense. But I had worked on newsletters for work and community organizations with which I was once affiliated. It was refreshing and challenging to find content worth sharing with others. Most importantly to yours truly the efforts were also well received.
I have been interested in taking photos while traveling and, on those travels, of unique sites and food opportunities. A new restaurant, a new meal, a new adult beverage, etc. While dining recently with my fiancee at a local establishment on our first visit (stay tuned!) it was then and there that I took out my phone and, in addition to snapping photos of some amazing food, starting typing notes and giving my impression of the dishes. I thought to myself - dammit, I'm going to start that blog! And so here we are.
What you can expect is a melting pot - an incorporation of my love of music, food, travel, and life. Most, if not all, involving my wonderfully fantastic fiancee and my amazing kids. Grab a plate, pull up a chair, open the Pandora app to your favorite station, and enjoy.
