In a comment on January 4 you said in 2021 you were going to "start" - Eating better, exercising, practicing (X3), and, READING (more). There you are - growth!

Six books, including three about music - helps me understand better why I like you! BTW, I haven't double checked (although I will) but I think I recall you setting a goal connected to my "Stop-Start-Continue" post this past January that had to do with you reading "..more.." in 2021 so, that means you succeeded. Congratulations. p.s. I'm going back right now to that early-in-2021 post to see if I'm remembering correctly Pat Bartonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15461263795359198289noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6414826739553623574.post-43686485915837499222021-12-29T16:56:33.332-05:002021-12-29T16:56:33.332-05:00Good morning, Pat. 2021, for me, was the most I...Good morning, Pat. 2021, for me, was the most I've read in way too many years. I always have the intention, but ... Well, that's another topic I'm sure.<br />As 2021 closes out I have read a total of 6 books. Although not too large a number, I do consider it something of a success since it's more than many previous years. I've not broken them down into the different categories, as you have, but here they are just the same: I read a wonderful book about Janis Joplin (Janis - Her Life and Music by Holly George Warren)) , an interesting story about time travel and the Black Death (Scribe of Siena by Melodie Winawer), Still Foolin' Em' (Billy Crystal), No Time Like The Future (Michael J. Fox), For What It's Worth (The Story of Buffalo Springfield by Einarson and Furay), and Positively 4th Street - The Lives and Times of Joan Baez, Bob Dylan, Mimi Baez-Farina and Richard Farina (David Hajdu).<br />As I've mentioned before, I seriously doubt I'll ever reach your level, but for 2022 I have set some higher goals, beginning with your recommendation of 'The Color of Water'.<br />Be well,<br />BobAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
