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 use the word “smooshy” all the time. Do you? Well, I don’t use it all the time. I use it occasionally as necessitated by smooshy items that need describing. Makes sense, right? I am pretty sure that I did not invent this word. It is in […]
