There is an old
joke that says, “Sex after 60 is better than ever, but the mounting and
dismounting aren’t so pretty.” If you’re laughing, you know what I’m
talking about. If not, you’re still young enough to have something to
look forward to. I attended a conference recently featuring Steve Pavlina,
the number one blogger on personal development. The topic was about
expanding traffic to your blog and one of his ideas was to write about
something ‘timeless’, something that lots of people have in common and
that breaks the mold of everyone’s expectations. Well, my writing has
been about transforming our notions of growing older and to encourage
intergenerational dialogue, so what better topic to muse on than SEX.[ Read More]

Recently I was speaking with a friend about
his bright four-year-old son. During the conversation, my friend noted
how he was amazed at the ability of his son to recall events and
details that had occurred many months prior. He marveled that his son
could so easily and effortlessly recall information that for most
adults would have long since been forgotten. Upon hearing his comments, I rather jokingly gave my normal response
when confronted with similar comments about smart children with great
memory. “It’s not that children have such great memory, they just have
not experienced enough of life to have the mass of information stored
in their brains that adults do!” I was clinging to[ Read More]

Earlier this month, I was away from home for
over a week on business. In itself, this is not a big deal. Lots of
people travel more frequently and farther than I do. Yet for me, this trip was filled with unexpected feelings of gratitude and wonder. At the outset, it was to be a routine work trip to two cities to
conduct seminars at the completion of the MBA course I teach. What set
this apart was the opportunity to be in Calgary, the home of Canada’s
energy sector and fastest-growing city in the country.[ Read More]

We live in a culture that has truly gone mad with “multi-tasking”. I
confess I’m guilty too. Even as I write this blog, I have my Bose
earphones on as I listen to Neil Young singing “Helpless” in his
uniquely plaintive style. OK. I’ve turned Neil off for now. At the same
time, I believe most of us crave receiving the undivided attention of
someone we care about. Attention that is completely focused on us with
no distractions. No TV, no laptop, no cell phone, no thoughts of
“What’s for dinner?”, or what I wish I had said in my last conversation
this morning, or what I need to do before I go to bed tonight.[ Read More]

Lately I have been thinking about the future and the distinction
between time and temporality. Our relationship to time can vary
depending upon our culture and the era in which we are living. If I
imagine living 300 or 400 years ago in what was primarily an
agricultural ‘reality’, time was cyclical—we measured it in terms of
seasons and lived in the certainty that life didn’t change much from
one generation to the next. I can contrast that to today when time is
viewed more like a highway moving ‘from’ someplace ‘to’ someplace. The
future is an unknown and each generation is pretty much making up their
own story and their own rules. These two views are as distinct as a
circle and a line. [ Read More]
