The theme for this blog came to me because of three events:
1. I have been restoring old double edge safety razors
2. I have been restoring old fountain pens
3. I'm having my shoulder "fixed" (rotator cuff surgery)
All three have the following in common:
1. They involve something old and worn out
2. Just letting the item sit around and rest wasn't going to do anything
3. They all required some procedure done to them to restore functionality
An Academic sabbatical is not only a time to rest, but also to rejuvenate. However, as I thought about these three things, I realize I need to very intentional about restoration in addition to just resting. I don't believe rest and restoration are mutually exclusive and I will try to capture my thoughts on this during the upcoming year. I am planning separate posts on the razors, pens, and shoulder.
