FOREWORD: A BRIEF INTRODUCTION. MANY NOTEWORTHY EFFORTS, both scholarly and otherwise, have been made in modern times to chronicle the events that took place at the dawn of the Twenty-First century, before the Fall and the subsequent New Enlightenment, but none have focussed so completely on the human element as what we, the Publishers, proudly present to you here. The recent discovery of Adelaide Pemberton’s journal has provided us with some unique glimpses into that banished Age of over five-hundred years past; however, those writings are woefully incomplete, and educated speculation is required to draw a coherent picture of those most-important events as experienced and witnessed by the one deemed most critical to the foundation of our present society. Therefore, we have commissioned esteemed psycho- historian Doctor Judith Burnley to construct for us a credible interpretation of the thoughts and convictions held by one of the most mythic figures from human history; this has been an undertaking that, we are well assured, was not taken lightly. Ladies and Gentlemen, we proudly give to you: “Adelaide’s Pinnygig”. The...

Introduction An easier childhood? There is a deep-seated river that contrarily runs through most American parenting. The belief that “my children” should have it easier than we, as parents, had it — when we were growing up. That is the worst mantra of parents! Spoiling your kids is the worst curse you can bestow upon your kids and yourself. It will come back to haunt you. Over and over and over. And then it will be too late. An old adage. Well, maybe we’ve grown up a little and are now more accomplished at avoiding corporeal punishment, except in the most egregious situations. But we continue to spoil them in other ways. Excess money. Excess toys. Excess time on their hands with nothing constructive to do. Excess trivia in their lives....
