Hill at 100
This past Tuesday, May 14, was the hundredth anniversary of the first performance at U-M’s Hill Auditorium. The U-M site has a collection of great photos from over the years.
I have some great memories of performances I attended as a student, including Bob Dylan, The Temptations and the Four Tops.

Why we stay in bad situations…
…and how we can get in the frame of mind to get out.
The Atlantic points to recent research showing that getting people into a “promotion mindset” vs. a “prevention mindset.” The latter leads us to focus on the negatives of leaving for a new situation.
