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.
This past week I noted how lucky I was to have been raised by my mother to be fearless. This was especially striking considering how she was not always fearless herself. Or at least not in the traditional sense of that phrase. But what is awesome about […]
It is that time of year again whereby I stop, pause, and thank my mom. Well, I have always thanked my mom. Probably not enough while she was alive. There’s never enough time. But there is always enough sadness and guilt when they depart this earth. But […]
I love May. I particularly love it in my old stomping grounds of New York. Just last week I mentioned to someone out here in California the old adage “April showers bring May flowers” and they had no idea what I was talking about. True enough it […]

I ain’t fighting. Just am not. What you ask? Headaches. Well, rather having one less headache. Why? Because, really who needs them? Let me explain and rewind a bit. When we go to the doctor with a headache he or she will want to know location, severity […]
