Everything these days seems to be either about personalization or psychometric profiling. I suppose that by now you have heard about the little problem that Facebook has been having the past few weeks. Apparently, according to the news media companies, voter-profiling company Cambridge Analytica harvested private data […]
Look, I do not relish the thought of a major earthquake occurring in California. Just like the majority of Californians, it scares me. I look at all the new high-rises that are being built in Los Angeles, with a teeny bit of anxiety. Supposedly, these new buildings […]
Sometimes we picture the past in a way that it didn’t exist. We romanticize some past points in ways that make us nostalgic for things that never existed or happened. There is even a book by Stephanie Coontz called “The Way We Never Were” that dissects decades of our […]

I use the word “smooshy” all the time. Do you? Well, I don’t use it all the time. I use it occasionally as necessitated by smooshy items that need describing. Makes sense, right? I am pretty sure that I did not invent this word. It is in […]
I will readily admit that we are one of those families that do not take down the Christmas tree January 1st. Nor do we tend to do so February 1st. And quite frequently, not even by March 1st. What can I say? We love the Christmas spirit. Well, […]
