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.
These days a lot of things are missing. People on the streets, for one. Actually, that’s not true. Not even in New York City the epicenter of the US pandemic. Sense of humor can be missing at times. Actually, no many of us have developed an even sharper […]
If only there was a caramel sundae on my doorstep With cherries and mirth on top If only there was a plane waiting to whisk me away To a far away universe dipped in chocolate If only there was a time machine Filled with candy canes If only […]
