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 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. […]
What’s one thing you own that holds deep sentimental value? I have a lot of stuff around my house. Knickknacks, little treasures, souvenirs, books, shot glasses from around the world, gifts people have given me, photographs of people I love, and things that probably look completely random to […]
What’s a completely useless fact you love sharing? I have a confession. I spend an unreasonable amount of time investigating things that serve absolutely no practical purpose in my life. 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 […]
Which book’s world would be the absolute worst to live in? I’ve been thinking about a rather important literary question. If you could live inside the world of any book, which would you choose? More importantly, what book world would be your absolute nightmare? I have a few […]
Some people join a gym. Some people download a fitness app. And apparently, some people commit crimes and accidentally enter an endurance competition. A 51-year-old man in Windsor, England, recently led police on what officers dubbed the “Great Windsor Triathlon.” The itinerary? Steal a bicycle, ride it, abandon […]
Well, we fell back. And apparently, so did my mood. It’s barely afternoon and already looks like someone turned off the sun and forgot to pay the electric bill. The days are getting shorter, the skies are getting gloomier, and I’m beginning to feel less like a functioning […]
