Bill Pfalzgraf, January 2023 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. This month's worthy recipient of this prestigious honor is Bill Pfalzgraf! In recognition of their efforts, Adultitis Fighters of the Month receive a special limited edition print created by Jason, along with a …

The Mystery of First and Last Times

I’m not sure where middle age begins, but I’m pretty sure that even grading on the most generous curve, I’m in it.  In some ways, maybe we all are. With Kim's father in hospice the past week, and with his only brother in hospice for three weeks before that, I've naturally been thinking a lot about life and death.  And last times.

That New Year Smell

A new year is upon us. It's filled with possibility, free of dents and scratches, and still possesses that new year smell.In the coming year, I have now reached the age where I can expect to be surprised by many of the events that will occur. Some will be happy and thrilling, others... not so much.I will not claim to predict the future (who can?), but I am quite certain about a few things. For instance, I know at least some of the big plans I have for the year will fall flat. Now that's always been a fact, but it's finally no longer a surprise.I also know – without a shadow of a doubt – that …
