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 has been hard in that I just have not been able to readily fall asleep. It is not that I am worried or necessarily stressed out. Rather, it has been that I have been caught up in a series of Netflix binges. Yes, each night […]
I saw this totally silly meme on Facebook today. Yes, I am still on Facebook. Although, I rarely post anything. I lurk more than I state. And, I barely even lurk anymore. Regardless of my lurking or non-lurking Facebook behaviors I did catch a silly meme that […]

Look, I do not relish the thought of a major earthquake occurring in California. Just like the majority of Californians, it scares me. I look at all the new high-rises that are being built in Los Angeles, with a teeny bit of anxiety. Supposedly, these new buildings […]
