Lost in Space

Sputnik. Mercury. Star Trek. Star Wars. 2001. The Right Stuff. Cosmos. Between the space race and science fiction, we spent much of our formative years focused on the cosmos. Think back to the moon landing, Kurt Vonnegut, and Carl Sagan. What role did space dreams and sci-fi play in your life? Would you leave Earth to colonize Mars? Share your space stories forward.

The Road Not Taken

Wizard of Oz fork in the road

Over the course of a life, we make thousands of decisions. Think back … where were the turning points? Had you chosen differently—a different school, career, mate, or life—how would your life have changed? Which path do you regret not taking? Which path are you glad you avoided? If you had your life to live over, what would you change and what would you keep? Share your alternative stories forward.

Hair

Too long. Too short. Too curly. Too straight. We braided it, curled it, teased it, permed it, set it, fought with our parents over it. Later, perhaps, it thinned or turned gray, or disappeared altogether. What did hair mean when we were growing up? What does it mean now? Think back … and share your hair stories forward.

Generation Gap

Generation Gap

Don’t trust anyone over 30. That’s what we said … when we were under 30. Think back … What did you think of your parents and their generation when we were young? Were they squares? Sell-outs? Did they understand you at all? Did your thinking change as time passed? Are you closer to your children now than you were to your parents then? Share your generation gap stories forward.
