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 live in a fairly new building within downtown Los Angeles. It’s a huge high-rise and really glossy new appliances. Despite all its prettiness and various great amenities, the building has got to have the worst elevator system ever. In New York, building elevators are often out of […]
I often don’t eat at work. More often than not, I skip lunch entirely. I have a stickie right by the side of my office door that states “don’t forget food.” The stickie doesn’t really work. I will work and just get through the day without really […]
The solar eclipse is coming. How prepared are you for this momentous occasion? Me, here, in California will have to experience through reliving my past memories and by living vicariously through those in Oregon, Idaho, Wyoming, Nebraska and across to the east. When I was a kid, I […]

Sometimes you just find yourself in a mood. It can be a sour mood, a happy one, or a “I’m not taking any crap” mood. It can even be all three and more simultaneously. It’s like a cacophony of moods swirling inside one’s brain, body and pinky. Yeah, […]
