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 […]
Our car is filthy. In the 7 years we have own it maybe it’s been professionally washed twice. And that may be an overstatement. It’s been washed plenty of times by mother nature who has also pelted it with hail a few times. In this sense, besides having […]
We all know very well that we get way too many emails. No one talks anymore. Even emails may be too last century at this point. Emails are too long for many. Text messages may be the method by which most prefer to communicate. But […]

What do you see? Better yet what does it mean? As a manager I find I’m actually quite good at reading the intentions of others. Occasionally, I have a misfire but for the most part I am pretty spot on. I suppose it helps that I am a psychologist. I’ve […]
Ok. Let me get one point straight right off the bat. I am not the biggest risk-taker or daredevil there is out there. I don’t particularly care to jump out of a plane or to go zip lining. But I do try to engage in new experiences […]
