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 was just recently talking with a friend as to how music has been so therapeutic this past year. Everyone has found their playlist, sort of speak. I used to be anti-Spotify just because I wanted to be. Then at some point late last year I gave in […]
Dreams dreams, and dreams. Swaying palm trees and dancing spaceship rockets. Dreams are all the rage these days. A strange interconnection amongst us all. Last night I had a dream where the gatekeeper repeatedly said “at Milan, turn left”. In my dream, I did not reach Milan. Although, […]
It’s late at night and I’m staring at the sanitation trucks picking up recyling bins and moving stuff about. The city truly never sleeps. There’s round the clock fun, trouble and caution. New York’s vibrancy was a bit dampened. However, I digress. Back to the sanitation trucks. I […]

When I first started blogging, for a few years I would do a wacky news column on Fridays. Then, little by little I stopped writing about wacky, weird bits. The world turned topsy-turvy and weird news was no longer weird. Wackiness was sort of built into everyday life. […]
