Poor Kenny G. Once a popular musician and, who knows, maybe still a popular musician but not to us. Anyway, Kenny G makes a semi-unwanted appearance in a new BBDO New York-created ad for Snickers Bites. The ad, which carries the campaign’s tagline, “You’re not you when you’re hungry,” pokes fun at a guy who seemingly turns into Kenny G when he’s hungry. Not really the sort of guy you want around a testosterone-filled table of guys who just want to get their poker game on.

I watched my best friend’s mind go quietly dim in her mid-60s and my own stay sharp into my 70s — and the difference between us was not genetics or luck but the fact that she retired from everything the day she retired from work, and I never fully understood until then that the mind takes its instructions from the life and not the other way around

Psychology says the relationship between an elderly parent and the one adult child who does everything is one of the most psychologically complex dynamics in any family — and the resentment that builds in silence is almost always mutual

Psychology says people who cannot tolerate silence, solitude, or an unoccupied evening aren’t extroverts — they’re people for whom stillness has become dangerous, because stillness is the condition under which the things they have been outrunning are most likely to catch up
