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.

At the beginning of covid-19 we all thought we would learn 101 new skills sets. Then we didn’t. I’ve noted that repeatedly. But then I started thinking about such a statement. I may not have learned to play the guitar bit I did learn many new things. I […]
