Welcome!

Welcome to the M.A.Y.A. Years.
Whether you are in the M.A.Y.A. years, are about to embark in that next stage of life, or are our mothers, Linterella and I hope that you enjoy your Web stay at this humble abode. The powers that be behind this blog go way back...OK, we worked on the college newspaper. and have been in several journalistic positions since. Plunk has worked for newspapers in Texas and California, and currently is working on his masters in Southern California. Linterella is currently a NorCal magazine editor and is an overall bubbly individual.
We both find ourselves as middle-aged young adults, wondering what exactly that means and how that applies to our lives. The late 20s-early 30s can be quite the intriguing phase of life, whether one find his/herself married, single, just starting a career, still working on an education or sitting in front of the TV joining the millions trying to beat Super Mario Bros. Either way, the age-and the age we live in-provides unique challenges that both of us feel needs to be addressed, discussed, debated and eventually lived out.
So, dear reader, we intend for this to be a dialogue. We value, covet and wish for your input. Leave a comment, in fact, leave two, just because you want to. At some point, there will be opportunities for posting and contributing. Feel free to send us something. It will be edited for ambiguity and lack of clarity, of course (that's a joke, but do laugh anyways). But in the end, this may be some of the hardest times in one's life, or possibly the easiest. Either way, saying you're a M.A.Y.A. is pretty darn catchy (watch for the new fashion line in the Spring).

I delight in your humor and honest reflections. Here's something to chew, do you suppose that this M.A.Y.A. stage is a by-product of the fact that the average age of people getting married has increased in years? Most of our parents were married and had kids by their mid-20's. In some ways, it made them adults.
