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.
I don’t like beans. I don’t like the texture. Quite hard to enjoy. My family, on the other hand, loves beans. I’ve always been the odd one out in my family. And, that is totally fine with me. Is there any valid reason anyway to need to fit […]
The city is eerily empty this morning The delivery guys peddling away The sky is overcast The white garbage bags laid out on the curb Just days before there was hope The sun beamed a new day But then the sun set Up we rose to a fearful […]

I love the heat. I could be completely comfortable in 84 degree weather. Even inside an apartment. Years ago when I went to Germany for Christmas I felt like I was going to die of frostbite even though I was throughly wrapped up in very warm, all-covering clothing. […]
It would be nice if everyone had a digital patch on them that sent you signals as to whether this person would be a match for you. I don’t mean a romantic match. I mean a friend, colleague, or acquaintance match. It would help to make one’s life […]
