Now, that's a proper start to a Maryland spring: rain, rain, rain, rain, rain.

Life, I find, is just that much more interesting when you understand generational archetypes and where each of them is "located in time" now.
I recently watched the new Cinderella movie (2015) and noticed right away how the story line/movie had been updated to be in cultural alignment to the archetypal temperaments of the 18-and-under, After-the-Millennials…
Fascinating insights into "country papers" and how Americans kept abreast of international and national news through reading this weeklies in their small and rural towns.
The US government WAIVED the postage delivery fee *between newspaper editors,* and most country newspaper editors -- also functioning as owners, printers, typesetters and reporters, all in one -- received dozens…
I cannot recommend, encourage or hope enough that you read The Fourth Turning Is Here: What the Seasons of History Tell Us about How and When This Crisis Will End.
Soon. Now. Read it. Listen to it. (I love the audiobook version.)
Big changes are afoot. Even bigger changes are a'comin'.
Things will be hard. Harder than hard.…

It's good, I think, to remember what we have, even when we don't feel like our lives are going as smoothly as we might like.
Whatever you're struggling with, whatever isn't perfect in your life, whatever business or service or system or whatever isn't…
Originally published in The Laurel Independent newspaper.
When Laurel resident Cory Moore accompanied a friend to a birthday party in 2017, he had no idea his life was about to change. Nor did the birthday girl, Elizabeth Robinson, who is also a long-time Laurel resident.
The two developed a fast friendship, and as the months…
Phenomenal insights into the people behind the American frontier from the show Into the Wild Frontier. (I've been watching it on Amazon.)
It's even MORE astounding, informative and insightful when you layer in generational archetypes (birth dates in the link).
I've been watching the S3 E6, "Robert Rogers, Frontier Soldier." Within minutes of this episode about his…
Dear, People Who Make Decisions at Amazon.com,
I would like to request there be a "NOTE" function on your site so that I can add NOTES to my purchases so that a year later, or whenever, when I'm sifting through an spreadsheet of Amazon/Amazon/Amazon purchases -- not a one with a single identifier as to what…
There are many miracles in life. Big ones and small ones, gargantuan ones and micro ones. Many of these miracles, in my experience, are matters of timing and synchronicity.
Yet whether large or small, life-altering or microscopic, the thing about these miracles is that in the moment, they are just that: a miracle, a blessing, a…
When I was a wee one, maybe four or five, my mom had gone back to work as a nurse, and she needed to find a babysitter / kid watcher for me. A nearby neighbor whose young kids were at home fit the bill, and so I went there day after day, to her home.
I…
I saw an article earlier today about ageism at work in which the author spoke about how companies lose that built-in wisdom and know-how when it leans favorably toward hiring younger workers over older workers.
I agree.
Though I'd add the problem is equally, if not more so, generational.
As companies bring on more Millennials, who are great…
