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 want to be dramatic. Well, actually, I do. It’s kind of my brand. But has anyone else noticed that the past few days have felt suspiciously like the opening sequence of a science-fiction disaster movie? Let’s review. First, Microsoft Exchange decides to take an extended personal […]
It was my mom’s birthday this past week. She’s been gone for 15 years, and yet, somehow, certain dates still have a way of making the distance between then and now feel a little less convincing. I still miss her. There are certain moments when I miss her […]
What is one thing you can’t live without? I have a confession. One of my biggest fears isn’t getting older, losing my hair (although let’s not test that theory), or even forgetting where I put my glasses when they’re actually on my head. It’s losing my memories. I […]
I have a question. Has anyone else noticed that the Ring camera chime has become the unofficial soundtrack of modern life? I’m on a train. Ding! At the airport. Ding! On the beach. Ding! I’m beginning to suspect that even international waters aren’t safe from the neighborhood watch. […]

Not career development. Not financial planning. Not learning how to fix something around the house. Useless information. You […]
I love to travel. In fact, I’m pretty much always looking for somewhere new to go. A new country, a new city, a different culture, a different plate of food, a new place to wander around and inevitably walk 15,000 steps because apparently sightseeing is an endurance sport. […]
There is a very special kind of person who wakes up at an hour when even the birds are questioning their life choices. Apparently, I am that person. It’s 5-something in the morning. The house is quiet, the dogs are either sleeping or plotting something, the coffee is […]
Apparently, scientists are baffled by an unusual relationship between a male donkey named Patroclo and a bull named Achille in Italy. The two have developed a remarkably close bond, described by researchers as a socio-sexual relationship. Yes, a donkey and a bull. And here I am thinking my […]
If you had to sum up your life philosophy in one sentence, what would it be? My life philosophy has always been pretty simple: Just do it. I’ll survive. Why not go for it? What’s the worst that can happen? But this past week, I developed a new […]
