I love to travel, try new foods, ingest caffeine, and watch political news coverage. A psychologist by training trying to bring a little common sense to it all.
Every year there’s a word that stands out. Maybe a few. And they compete to be the word of the year. Just like Time Magazine names a person of the year. I suppose it’s an honor to be named such a person. I wouldn’t mind being named person […]
‘Tis the season to get a flurry of emails giving discounts for online shopping. Name the store, I’ve received 100s of emails. Looking for inspiration, I’ve opened a few of them. I’m a bit stuck on what to get. I love gift-giving. However, I’m looking for inspiration in […]
