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.
A while ago I pondered what was worse: a dentist visit, ob-gyn visit, or an MRI. Many opined noting that they considered the dentist was worse. Way worse. I can under I mean no disrespect to dentists. I know many and most are very nice people. Just like […]
I do not drive. Have never really felt the need to despite living in 20 cities. While I was an oddity in Los Angeles, here in New York I’m perfectly normal. And, that is how I like it. I do like riding in cars. I love singing in […]
Children are cute and cuddly and warm. Wait, that’s dogs. Well, maybe kids too. I tease my tween son all the time about his cuddle-factor. He grunts at me when I tease. Yet, he is still cute. Honestly, not much that he can do that would not lead […]
Rise and shine and be merry. And, as Truman noted each morning to his Truman Show neighbors “good morning, and in case I don’t see ya, good afternoon, good evening, and good night!” Yuck. I can be sunny, but I don’t believe I’ve ever been that chipper. I […]

There are a lot of not very nice people out there. Gasp. Shocking, I am sure. And, these not very nice people often feel that they can be so because other people will feel obligated to be the bigger person. As a parent you advise your child to […]
Try to feel in the moment. Don’t just go through the motions. It’s so important to connect with your space. Your air. Your mind. I have repeatedly noted that I love jumping in puddles during a rainstorm. I find that to be one of the most fun things […]
I will admit that many years ago, before I worked out, I didn’t wipe fown. I felt tough, strong, and invincible. Obviously, I was stupid. There I said it. I would often wipe it down after using it but not before. How does that make sense? It doesn’t. […]
It had to eventually happen. The last time I used a payphone was five years ago in the airport in Rome. And, I barely figured it out. I am not unique in my non-use of public payphones. I always do a double-take when I see one. I do […]
