Was Adulting Actually Good for Us? Ten years ago, Kelly Williams Brown’s advice book Adulting: How to Become a Grown-up in 468 Easy(ish) Steps was published. The book’s success went beyond its place on the New York Times’ best-seller list to become part of the Obama-era Zeitgeist. The word adulting acknowledged that adolescence now extends into the second and often third decade of life and that young adults prefer self-deprecating their way to some kind of behavioral maturity rather than making a series of major decisions and learning to live with the consequences, which, from what I understand, is what “adulthood” used to be about.
The word adulting has jumped the shark (Bill Maher’s latest show on HBO is called #Adulting, goddess help us), but in 2013 a lot of people found it cute. Recall, this was the era of Parks and Recreation, of “put a bird on it” — less curdled times. Brown does not claim to have invented the verb form of the noun, but she did single-handedly popularize it. “I knew it was annoying the first time I said it,” she told me. “And then I consigned myself to say it 17 million more times.”

WorkWorkThe Best Runs You Took in 2022 I covered 17 miles that day, letting nature speak to me: The canal clear and cold; Canada geese gliding silently in the water; a trio of crows on a barren tree by the White River, cawing to acknowledge my handsome boy’s absence. In his early years, we had tried running together, but in the end, we were both happier if I ran and then walked him. It didn’t matter how far I had run or if I had raced, we still got our walk in. I ran the Chicago Marathon in 2021, and two days later took Ben to the vet, who diagnosed my boy with a bony tumor in his rear left leg. A soaring high was followed by the deepest low, both wrapped up in running. Running and my dog have been great teachers, and I am so grateful.
