In this issue of Olive, I’m starting with intellectual terrain. Please read the article, “Theories and Models in Family Enterprise Advising,” co-authored with Patricia Annino, as we review the intellectual terrain of theories and models in the family enterprise field. This article is a chapter in Business Families and Family Businesses, a book published by Globe Law, and Business Ltd.

Next I move to a social terrain. Ever since I wrote “Dinner Parties I’ve Ruined” (Olive: Issue 1), I have been searching for guidelines to navigate the social terrain of dinner parties. Quite to my surprise, I discovered that the 19^th century philosopher, Immanuel Kant, has provided an outline with instructions!

Then, of course, there is aesthetic terrain in which I continue my fascination with five-line poems — adding the cinquain to limericks, haikus, and acrostics. Although, theoretically, any five-line poem can be a cinquain, the unrhymed cinquains in this issue use the syllabic configuration of 2-4-6-8-2.

Finally, in Friends of Judy, we have the early 20^th century poet, Adelaide Crapsey, who created the 2-4-6-8-2 cinquain rhyme scheme. Her life was not that cheery, and neither are her three cinquains that I’ve included here. Still, a new Friend of Judy.

Hope you are up for navigating the “Terrain” in the June issue of Olive: Random Thoughts.
