When something is cracked, we often think of it as ruined, useless, irredeemably broken. But when a bird’s egg cracks while in the confines of its nest, it is a sign of new life, a fresh beginning.

Lea Rosenberg, August 2020 Adultitis Fighter of the Month
An Adultitis Fighter is someone who rallies against rules that don't exist and engages in ruthless, senseless acts of silliness that undermine Adultitis and its unadventurous version of adulthood. Once a month, we shine a light upon the most remarkable among us, holding them up as a dazzling example of what we should strive for in this epic battle against a formidable enemy. We have had the honor of meeting and getting to know Lea over the last two decades! A past participant in several Escape Adulthood events (EA Summits and Wondernite), this award is very much overdue as she and her …

Whimsy is Underrated
I saw this car in my neighborhood the other day. It’s a real head-turner, with all of its whimsical flourishes and flair. They don’t make cars like this anymore.And that’s a shame.In the 1950s, cars featured all sorts of angles, fins, and bright colors. They were sleek, fun, and bursting with personality.
