My new title does not have to serve for the rest of my life: only the next phase.

:- Doug.

I’m a RAG man. Reaching Across Generations.

:- Doug.

Reach across generations, meet in the middle, expressly to make us more human: and each generation says “human” with a different accent!

:- Doug.

We reach across the generations, they reach across to us. Meeting, we can purposely make humanity more human. The fun challenge is that human will mean something different to each generation.

:- Doug.

My dream is to make humanity more human by generations reaching purposely to one another.

:- Doug.

Dream no small dreams the man said. What is my big dream?

:- Doug.

When we reach across the ages with purpose, we affect our humanicity.

:- Doug.

Hand in hand, across generations.

:- Doug.

I’m reaching across ages for a tiny bit better humanity. for finding our better humanity.

:- Doug.

Perhaps I have not set myself afire, yet. I have discovered there are possibilities and realities here. But I have next to open the doors, windows, and skylights to these folks. On either end and here in the middle.

:- Doug.

Lawyer, how does your work-year play out?

:- Doug.

My exploratorium is a train of many windows and feelers carrying me inside panoramas poetic, aromatic, juicy, chewy, bitter, and tragic.

:- Doug.

If the book does not befuddle me, make me question myself, perhaps it does not challenge.

:- Doug.

Maybe to them you don’t exist.

:- Doug.

The generations are reaching for one another even now.

:- Doug.

Why continually trying something new is the meaning of history, perhaps humanity.

:- Doug.

As we in this course meet, however we “meet,” we are an example of how humans can reach across to one another. How then?

:- Doug.

I am carried along by an untamed idea; I must get on this beast and ride and try to turn its head to good.

:- Doug.

How do ideas travel? They jump, skip, hide, explode, hibernate. . . .

:- Doug.

We conduct an experiment in reaching across generational edges to see how we might advance humanity.

:- Doug.

After you meet these the result could be different.

:- Doug.

Before you write off the people in the distance, come and give me a hand. Then you may do as you like.

:- Doug.

There are connections to be made: between and among those who have gone before and those coming soon and us too. There are connections to be made and found, from which others can grow humanity in ways we cannot foreshadow. Our duty is here. Feel the nibble on this line.
