  • Get Off My Lawn

    Get Off My Lawn
    Jul 7 2024
    I've been thinking about the cliche phrase "Get Off My Lawn" a lot recently. It's one of the timeless anthems of middle and old age. The point when people feel like they've lived long enough and paid enough dues in a society to claim some ownership of its "lawn" - the social norms, values, and standards of the society, which we begin to take responsibility for around 40.

    One of the true gifts of youth is the privilege to dissent, to debate, and sometimes, to disobey the very people and institutions you depend on for your survival and development. Part of the work of child development and human maturity is not just to identify the literal and metaphorical lawns of the society around them and "touch grass", but to pull up the blades, dig random holes in the dirt, run all over the lawn, and daydream on the lawn.

    And part of the work of adulting is balancing the questioning and exploring of the youth with guidance and perspective.

    But with live being as hectic as it can be, and with our individual status on the lawn of society being as precarious as it can be, it's easy to fall into the habits of past generations of 40 years olds in responding to teens and 20-somethings whenever they start asking too many questions and making too many calls for change.

    Wash and Dry

    The first time I heard about the concept of 3rd places was when I was in college. Over the years, I've enjoyed a variety of 3rd places, including coffee shops, gyms, houses of worship, and live music venues.

    But my two favorite 3rd places - by far - are laundromats and car washes. They are no-judgement, family-friendly, budget-friendly, class-collapsing spaces.

    Last weekend, I happened to make a stop at my local car wash and laundromats, and it got me to thinking about what decisions our generation will make about the 3rd spaces in our country.


    We live very different lives,in very different regions, in very different life situations. The forces of our economy, our politics, and our technology push and pull us into very different kinds of community and very different kinds of 3rd spaces.

    And yet, the research is clear: humans need social interaction and connection, with a varity of people, in a variety of places.

  • Sudden Shifts

    Sudden Shifts
    Apr 7 2024
    In many ways, this podcast is about timing. Turning 40 years is primarily a conversation about timing.

    The timing of the events in our lives. The timing of the seasons and stages of our lives.

    Bad timing. Good timing. Unbelievably fortunate timing. Unbelievably tragic timing.

    How many of us are approaching 40 in a season of life where we cannot afford for anything to go wrong because we have too many people, and things, to care for?

    There's a difference between caring about someone or something and caring for that person or thing.

    What are you caring for at this stage of your life?
    Who are you caring for as you approach 40?
    What do you when what you cared for is gone?
    How do you handle the sudden shifts in life that cause endings you didn't have time to prepare for?
