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.
Thee last 6 weeks (or even more than that) have been ones where I was constantly doing something. I packed up and sold a house, moved into an apartment, had three weeks of back to back business trips, got a major rash from a centipede bite that […]
