I love to travel, try new foods (both simple and "exotic"), ingest caffeine, and watch political news coverage. Im a big pop culture junkie who isnt afraid to say she loves "In Touch" Magazine! A social marketing expert and psychologist by training who works in the public health field trying to bring a little common sense to it all.
All the world is my television and I like to provide commentary on it.
Cheers

I do not drive. Have never really felt the need to despite living in 20 cities. While I was an oddity in Los Angeles, here in New York I’m perfectly normal. And, that is how I like it. I do like riding in cars. I love singing in […]
Children are cute and cuddly and warm. Wait, that’s dogs. Well, maybe kids too. I tease my tween son all the time about his cuddle-factor. He grunts at me when I tease. Yet, he is still cute. Honestly, not much that he can do that would not lead […]
Rise and shine and be merry. And, as Truman noted each morning to his Truman Show neighbors “good morning, and in case I don’t see ya, good afternoon, good evening, and good night!” Yuck. I can be sunny, but I don’t believe I’ve ever been that chipper. I […]
The past year there’s been a few television scenes that have been seared into my brain. Several of them have been scenes of women stifling a scream or two by biting themselves and/or burying their faces into a pillow. The Netflix show called Spinning Out featured a main […]
She was excited to get a piece of fruit. Perhaps thd word “excited” was an overstatement. She really was craving some fruit and walked over to the stand. But no fruit to her liking was to be found. Instead, she found remnants of her past. Her name seemingly […]
