#goldenage
Do all of us have a “golden era”?
I was in my mid-20s when I started my business in the Pioneer Square area of Seattle. It was the center of cool where creatives ✍️ and innovators worked & played. We’d found a home where there were great clubs, restaurants,and similar people gathered. “Startups” wasn’t a word yet, but they were happening. Gordon Bowker (an original founder of Starbucks) was one the early supporters of the Weekly, a Seattle newspaper ️in my office building.
One of my friends from those days was Jerry Gay, a Pulitzer prizewinning photographer who founded “Picture Magazine.” We just spoke this week & I dug up these photos he shot of Chihuly Gardens for a story I was working on in 2012.
My office had a leather couch, ️ chrome & glass furniture and a Bang & Olufsen stereo incessantly playing jazz albums. Roger Downey, one of the Weekly writers, ⌨️ called me “Jazz baby.”
People in the building who drank coffee ☕chipped in & we shared the cost. Roger insisted we always buy “Yuban,” a canned coffee that was more expensive than Folgers and Maxwell House.
Judy, the Weekly office manager thought it would be funny to fill the Yuban can with “Brand ✖️” to see what would happen. Roger didn’t notice. How’s that for the power of advertising?
For many, our 20s & 30s is the golden age and a fun time in our lives.
Do you have a favorite memory of your young adult years?

Happy 43rd birthday to the Notorious B.I.G. …I can only imagine the impact he would’ve made on music if he was allowed to reach his full potential as an artist. #RipBiggie

Monday 12th March 2018: When you can’t reconnect and ground yourself by walking bare-foot in the grass (British weather) this has to be the next best thing…finding a quiet room, just me, my coffee and a damn good book, I feel peaceful already :)
