Redux - Lost Boys and Golden Girls
It's not QUITE the 40th anniversary of The Lost Boys (39 years today), and just past the 40th anniversary of Highlander, but it's close enough. And there are other reasons to redo this one today - with its thoughts on immortality, legacy, good times and fellowship - so, doing that. "Never let a...

Summer of Trinity Again - Intro
Summer of Trinity is a look at the summer of 1945, between Memorial Day and Labor Day. Halfway between those dates, on July 16, was the Trinity atomic weapon test - but a lot was happening all around the world, during the 6 weeks before and after Trinity. That's what this series will be about.
-
Lucas Birthday Edition - Lucas Portrait
This is just for fun, with no real generational connection except that both Abraham Lincoln and George Lucas are from Prophet generations. (Boom for Lucas, Transcendental for Lincoln.) And, as such, it's not surprising that a similar arrangement works for both of them. If you like Star Wars and...

Reactivites Redux - 14 09 27 - The Battle of Flowers
14 09 27 -- The Battle of Flowers parade was my second parade ever. It was April 27, 1979, in San Antonio, Texas, part of "Fiesta," an annual series of events in San Antonio. I was there with my high school band, on a trip we'd been looking forward to all year. https://battleofflowers.org/events/...

Reactivities - 25 03 11 - A Kind of Magic
I haven't stayed up to date on Reactivities - just seeing that it's nearly a year since my last one - so going to put this up again just to prime the pump, remind myself of The Plan. ======================================================== Our first tale from interesting times could've happened…

Redux - Gen X Job Seeker - The Last
Five years at my job, five years since I was trying to find work in the middle of a pandemic. This is short and simple but the advice it has isn't half bad, still. Notes from the original: Eventually you have to make it through to the end. This is, as it says, the last Gen X Job Seeker episode,...
-
Redux - Ukraine, Continued
The continuation is from the previous episode, The Sebastapol Sketches, about the 1850s Crimean War and the Tolstoy stories set there. Because so much has been happening, it's a ramblling look at a lot of possibilities and how the generational model might make sense of it all. As such, there's…

Redux - Sebastopol Sketches
On the four year anniversary of start of "Special Military Operation of the Russo-Ukrainian War, I thought I'd repost a couple of my relevant episodes from back then. A look at Leo Tolstoy's Sevastopol Sketches, and what we can learn from them about recent activity in Crimea and Ukraine. Can't…

Redux - Unforced Errors
Originally intended to point out what a Crisis looks like, in the futile hope that maybe people in the USA would recognize when they were making them. Alas, this was not the case, and so we have a real peak Crisis happening. Can we tell the start of a Fourth Turning by noticing the frequency and...
-
Redux - Countdown - Complete

-
Redux - The Gunner's Dream
Pink Floyd's "The Final Cut" was similar to "Forty Years" in that it was a look back at how the goals of World War II had worked out. Which means it's been on my mind in a similar way, so I felt like redoing it as well. But the bit about "...you can speak out loud about your doubts and fears And...
-
Redux - Ep. 18 - Forty Years
Redoing this one because it's the forty year anniversary of the recording of the song Forty Years. A quick note from Joe Jackson's website - where, incidentally, you can't listen to his music any more. (You could when I first published this podcast episode, and I wanted to include the notes that...

Ep. 71 - Puzzles
A look at the last year, starting from jigsaw puzzles.
-
Redux - Egypt's 18th Dynasty
Found myself thinking about how 200 years is seen as a limit for how long countries remain viable, and remembered that Egypt's 18th Dynasty lasted just about that long - most were noticeably shorter. It ended quickly after the boy-king Tutankhamen died young without an heir. Maybe a notice for…
more -
Redux - The Plague Bearers
Something about November just makes it difficult to get episodes done. So re-doing, here, a Thanksgiving episode, in its way, from a few years back. This is the second Redux with it - last time was two years ago. I thought I had written about this elsewhere, but this appears to be the closest I…

Redux - Lost Boys and Golden Girls
While this was originally posted in the fall of 2019, for the third year in a row I'm reduxing it. It is, again, an appropriate meditaion for this quiet time of year, as the football games are starting to pass us by even if their music is still in the air. The warmth of the summer is still…
