Hi, I'm Bill Murray (no not THAT Bill Murray) and this is my TimePage. I am a recently retired Aerospace worker here in Seattle , with a couple of grown kids out on their own and a house in the suburbs full of memories and artifacts. I migrated here nearly 40 yrs ago after a youth spent in the wilds of L. A . Since I have accumulated so much history of my own, I would like to share a little with you. You see, I am a WWII baby and yet I've always felt that I didn't quite fit any of the stereotypical images of that crowd. I didn't identify with the GI's outlook and I was not totally in sync with the Boomer mentality that emerged after WWII either. Some time ago I read a book by William Strauss and Neil Howe (S&H) called " Generations " and I felt I got a little insight into this feeling of mine. According to S&H, I am sitting right in the gap between two powerful generations. I was born too late to participate and too early to celebrate. Strauss and Howe called my generation the "Silent Generation". Well we'll see.

The Hourglass Newsletter has been officially cancelled. The spam was so bad that it finally broke the mailing list software, and since I only planned on using it for contingencies anyway, it became more trouble than it was worth. Please consider visiting the TimePage BLog to keep up with changes and to share your ideas.

I would like to invite anyone who is interested in the TimePage or its subject matter to join me at a new TimePage weblog that I have set up called the TimeLog. I am going to use it to discuss what's going on at the TimePage, share any new stuff I find and hopefully open up some dialog with TimePage visitors about U.S. history in general and generational history in particular. It will be up to you whether it ends up being a personal blog for my TimePage musings or a discussion forum for the TimePage readers. Hope to see you there.
