Resurrection

Happy New Year one and all.  I have titled this post 'Resurrection' more out of satire than anything else.  Last year I dedicated myself to eliminating Facebook from my life for the first quarter of the year and was successful in doing so.  During this time I recommitted myself to reading (real words from real books!) and also forayed into the realm of being a blogger.  The prior having been more successful than the latter I abandoned the blogging.  Hence the sarcasm of trying to resurrect something that was not entirely alive but for a brief period of time. 

So here we are...another new year and another round of promises which hopefully won't be broken but are expected to be forgotten about in a few months.  Facebook is once again vanquished to the great beyond and I'm investing in a new cache of books having been received this year over the course of my birthday and the more recent Christmas holiday.  Much to the chagrin of my fiancee Beth this was a 'techie' Christmas but she should only hold herself accountable as it was she who provided the iPad Air 2 and Apple Watch.  It would be rude of me to decline gifts of such value and thoughtfulness, right?  Ah but I digress.   For your viewing pleasure here is the list I will be working through for at least the first three months of 2016:

• Neil Peart: Cultural Repercussions by Bradley J. Birzer
• Clockwork Lives by Kevin J. Anderson and Neil Peart
• Art of Rush by High Syme
• Life's Too Short to Fold Fitted Sheets by Lisa Quinn
• Unbroken by Laura Hillenbrand
• Maine's Most Scenic Roads by John Gibson
• Above the Line by Urban Meyer and Wayne Coffey

As I completed these works I will share my reviews and personal thoughts.  Along this journey I'll also share insight with you about the usual suspects - food, travel, music, and anything I might entertaining and worthy of piquing my interest.  Thanks for sharing this time with me (again!) and I hope you'll find value and interest and please feel free to share with others or follow me on Twitter @abdrum74 or Instagram.

All the Best
