Tony Pierce Produces Adrants Madpony Interview

A couple weeks ago, I interviewed Kristin from Madpony for Tony Pierce. Tony has put together a kick ass photo essay version of the interview called “Kristin Madpony Meets Adrants Steve.”

Kristin, and sometimes her sister Lauren, run a popular weblog called Madpony. The site covers important issues like shopping and shoes and is also sprinkled with more important issues such as what music NOT to play when you are working in a shoe store, commentary on the intricacies of football game rules, fashion tips for formals and how to make Snickerdoodles.

I grew up in the 1970s when nobody asked how I was feeling and honestly, I think that’s why I can sit with discomfort in a way my own kids never learned — because I was never taught that every uncomfortable moment required immediate intervention

I’m 73 and I watched my grandson have a panic attack over a delayed package — and I realized the gap between how I was raised and how he was raised isn’t just generational, it’s a completely different operating system for handling adversity

I’m 77 and the hardest part of retirement isn’t boredom or loneliness. It’s sitting across from my wife at breakfast and realizing we spent forty years building parallel lives under the same roof and now there’s nothing between us and that fact.
