I just went to the doctor and she told me I need to chill. I need to relax and stress down. Honestly, I’m not that stressed. I’m a bit overworked and handling three to four crises each day. But I don’t necessarily feel stressed. Seems my doctor thinks […]
I will admit here front and center, I take the BuzzFeed quizzes. Do you know which ones I’m talking about? You can easily spend (waste) an hour completing 20 quizzes or so. They are beyond silly and, honestly, serve as a way for them to get back end […]
Ok. We have all heard the joke that Whole Foods is really “whole paycheck”. I get it. I don’t find that their food is all that tasty or worth all that they charge. I really don’t like kale. Laughingly, there is supposedly a significant demographic overlap between […]
Look, the world is chaotic. There’s no other way of describing the world in which we currently live. Just yesterday, there were three shootings (mass) in the United States. There were also many heartbreaking stories of loss, death and fear throughout. Watching the local news is a grand […]
There is this research finding that psychologists often use in their statistics classes to showcase the problem with what is called a spurious correlation. I promise, by the way, this won’t be a wonky post. Occasionally, I must live up to my name. So, do you know that […]

Sure enough these days we run from one place to another with little breathing room in between. Everything is timed. Let’s take my mornings, for example. I wake up. I zombie on over to the kitchen and get the coffee going. I check the time. I prepare […]
Sometimes you wake up on the wrong side of the bed. It sets you on a dark path from which its hard to pull back. That can certainly happen. Me? It doesn’t happen often to me. Not that my life is all songbirds and puppies. I think I […]
This past weekend, I spent it in a quaint town of Solvang where we got to eat danish food all weekend. It was my birthday weekend and since I couldn’t really ditch work again, I elected for a weekend getaway trip. The town is a complete tourist […]
