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.
