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 started this bit, by stating that I am tired of being nice. But that is not necessarily true. See, I have built a whole life of being nice to others and helping the less fortunate. Or so, I tell myself. But here is the thing. I […]

I am not a cook. I have some dishes I can make when I am so moved. I used to love to bake but have not done so in ages. As a matter of fact, my son has baked recently more frequently than I have. He was taking […]
