Reclaiming my health/fitness . Eternally curious , love getting outdoors. Reader , hiker , tinkerer. Son , Brother , Husband , Father , Grandfather . Carlin & Zappa tried to warn us .
True story of a mother dealing with the suicides of her 2 sons years apart . Difficult subject matter so probably not for everyone but a beautiful job telling her story.
Invited to my daughters book club . Has to be a book that has been on a banned list . The Nickel Boys , set in the 60’s at a notorious boys school in the American south . I’ll look for Whiteheads’ other books .
A story about a life dealing with mental illness. What is the term to use when you loved reading a book about a subject that is so serious and personal to the author? Fascinating story .
Latest books I’ve gotten thru . Enjoyed them all . The Vindman book is autographed , sea him at an event when he was in Toronto so that ones stays in my collection . The others I will pass along when I find the right person .
My wife’s sister - 62 , is already dealing with Alzheimer’s . Curious to find out the current treatment/prevention options . Main takeaway- invest in your health early .
How technology rewires our kids brains . Enjoyable read and have have followed Haidt for a while , like his stuff and presentation.
Latest read . Great book to get up to speed on the conflict in Ukraine and how we got here .
Time to let go of these , finished them all . Handed off to my daughter for donation to her community library in S/W Ontario .
A timely read . Favourite line “ As Trump grinned and the crowd cheered , shame was a stray dog that had long since given up on looking for its owner “.
@bencanham.bsky.social had the pleasure of vacationing in Scotland a number of years ago . Truly a beautiful country .
After reading “ The Splendid And The Vile “ I picked up “ The Demon of Unrest “. Quickly becoming an Erik Larson fan .
