I love to travel, try new foods, ingest caffeine, and watch political news coverage. A psychologist by training trying to bring a little common sense to it all.
I’m exhausted. Tired. Sleepy. Yet exhilarated. Even with unfair, uncaring people roaming the streets like zombies, doors may open. There are many possibilities yet we often forget they exist. We get caught up in mini-dramas. But we shouldn’t forget, life is do much more. It’s cliche to say […]
Shiny happy people. The college rock band REM sang about them a few decades ago. Supposedly, there were “Shiny happy people holding handsShiny happy people laughing.” But as Paula Cole once asked where’d all the cowboys go, I ask where’d all the happy people go? Seriously! I like […]
Everyone gossips. Or so some say. I don’t readily believe that. There are some who are vaults and can take a secret to their grave. However, I do believe 99.9% do gossip. But there is a spectrum. Gossip can go from mild and vanilla to spicy and a […]

In my view and orbit, you don’t get a trophy for participating. Well, not just for participating. There’s participation that entails satisficing (doing the bare minimum) and then there’s participation where you really give it your all. The latter gets recognition. The problem is many people just want […]
Sometimes you have to say what’s the point? Shrug. Move on. There’s really no point in trying to convince the unconvinceable. Did I just make up a word? Some people just want a target. Some people just want to hate somebody. They are filled with undirected anger. And, […]
For a decade I was constantly traveling. I got used to folding my clothes tightly and being able to always do carry-on no matter how long the trip. I knew which lanes. I knew which Starbucks was better. I also knew very well that your trip could get […]
