A Must For Men

Although the majority of men today would rather read through a blog or find digital entertainment, I still feel it necessary at some point each day to curl up to a good book and let it take me away.I generally stick to golf related material, but the last year has found me reading bits and pieces of everything as one of the goals for 2011 is to take down 25 books. Not that big of a goal, but it does provide a way to keep track of what I've read and insure that I am constantly into something productive. The Rise of Theodore Roosevelt by Edmund Morris certainly took me longer than it should have, as nearly six months had passed from start to finish. I had always heard of the astonishing feats Roosevelt accomplished throughout his career, but this book truly provides a good insight into the first 40 years of his life and how he developed into the powering man he was. Albeit a long read, it's very entertaining and will make you realize the rewards of living the strenuous life.

ALL APOLOGIES

While I am still quite certain I don't have nay followers, I would like to once again apologize for my failure to blog. I wish there was some sort of an excuse for my failure to post, but I simply have nothing to offer. Over the past few weeks I found myself heavily debating whether or not to attend Bonnaroo with the lady friend, which I ending up deciding to miss. Although I have certainly missed her and at times questioned the decision, today's GQ post really helped ease my mind:

In the meantime I'll be continuing to enjoy my last true summer, especially considering my much overdue trip down south will be here next week.

Thank you for your time, JBH
