I was reading Ken Dychtwald’s With Purpose
recently, and was struck by a comment in the introduction. He noted
that "in a single generation, sixty-two went from 'such a long life' to
'he died so young'." Being 57 myself, I have a personal interest in
the subject of aging and how I can continue to live a life that is
significant and contributes to the communities in which I live, learn,
work, and play. Another book that is waiting to be read is Canadian author Don Tapscott’s Grown Up Digital.[ Read More]

The early Boomer retirees are rewriting
the book of what ‘freedom from having to earn a living’ means. Of
course, there is the rush to enjoy some of the perks of our new-found
freedom. But once the lustre of all that unscheduled time wears off,
we're faced with the realization that retirement can also mean the
freedom to take on those issues we either didn’t have time for when we
were younger or were afraid to risk what we had going at the time for.
But for most, this freedom means the opportunity to learn, to engage in
some form of creativity and to step up to the challenge and opportunity
of ‘Eldering’—being of service to the community and to those that
follow, using our life experience and wisdom for the betterment of our
world.[ Read More]

I saw a documentary film last night entitled, “Transformation: The Life
and Legacy of Werner Erhard”. I had heard a lot about it from many
friends who shared some of the ‘heady’ experience of working with him
in the 70s and 80s. The film was a very well done tribute to his work
and to the man I knew. I had expected that the film’s purpose was to restore his reputation
after his departure from the USA following a controversial ‘character
assassination’ piece on CBS’s 60 Minutes. I was pleased that
its focus was more on his work and the broad contribution that he has
made in so many areas of contemporary culture.[ Read More]
