April 7, 2026 by Leave a Comment

I like harkening back to the old days, of what it was, as much as anyone, if that anyone is old enough to know the difference between now and then. How old do you need to be to know the difference between then and now? Not that old? Fine, then how far back are those […]

BIG DISAPPOINTMENTS, BECAUSE THERE’S MORE THAN ONE

October 16, 2024 by

My big disappointments are what come up first in a life review. “Dang, that could have worked out better.” Following that track doesn’t lead to a very good review.

MAKE EXCUSES THAT AT LEAST MAKE SOME SENSE

October 7, 2021 by

MILLENNIAL SELF CARE = SELF RESPONSIBILITY

June 4, 2017 by

  You know it’s not pledge week when NPR rags millennials about ‘self-care.’ Instead of pledging money to them, they’ll buy an ‘experience’ instead. Cue Jimi Hendrix? Gracy Obuchowicz says it’s more than just social media that has pushed millennials to the forefront of the self-care discussion. “Our generation has seen enough,” she said. “People […]
