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

It’s always about the Ducks One of my favorite books of my childhood was “Catcher in the Rye” . I found many ways to relate to Holden from identifying phonies to being mesmerized by the symbolism of ducks. On page 83, he noted “He turned all the way […]
