Some blog memes are hard to resist. I’ve seen a lot of librarians doing this on their blogs and apparently it started in Western Australian at Ruminations. This is a list of the first sentences of the first post of each month of the year from Panorama of the Mountains:
January: “The blood of martyrs is the seed of the Church.”
March: Who loves the USA?
May: The other day while recovering from dental surgery I watched March of the Penguins (2005) the third in a string of recent big screen documentaries about birds along with Winged Migration (2001) and The Wild Parrots of Telegraph Hill (2005).
August: …from the Anderson Bridge.
September: The first subway in the United States headed underground (or “off the earth” as newspaper headlines of the time exclaimed) 110 years ago right here in beautiful Boston, Massachusetts.
November: The Happiest Baby on the Block (2004) is a self-help book for new parents to help soothe fussy babies recommended to us by several of our fellow new parents.
December: A year ago today I began Panorama of the Mountains with my first post.
So it looks like a typical year filled with saints, religion news, politics and culture, stuff around Boston, movies, pandering to Canadians, the Mets, babies, and navel-gazing. Interestingly I’ve given up on the Religion News of the Month and Friday Sillies features and I made it through an entire liturgical year of saints so these types of posts are going to be less representative of Panorama of the Mountains in the future.
Anyhow, more navel-gazing year-in-review posts are due in the near future.
