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.
Ok. We have all heard the joke that Whole Foods is really “whole paycheck”. I get it. I don’t find that their food is all that tasty or worth all that they charge. I really don’t like kale. Laughingly, there is supposedly a significant demographic overlap between […]
Children. So pure. So naive. So funny. My son cracks me up, warms my heart. And gives me hope. Everyday, he is everything to me. As an only child he is a bit of a chatter-box and knows he’s front and center in our lives. That’s ok. He […]
Look, the world is chaotic. There’s no other way of describing the world in which we currently live. Just yesterday, there were three shootings (mass) in the United States. There were also many heartbreaking stories of loss, death and fear throughout. Watching the local news is a grand […]

There is this research finding that psychologists often use in their statistics classes to showcase the problem with what is called a spurious correlation. I promise, by the way, this won’t be a wonky post. Occasionally, I must live up to my name. So, do you know that […]
I remember many years and moons ago, there was great buzz about the closing credits of a movie. That movie, Ferris Buellers Day Off is now a classic. He did what movies are not supposed to do. It acknowledged the audience. It spoke directly to the audience. Ferris […]
My son is awesome. I have noted that repeatedly and I won’t stop. No need to. I just have a never-ending fountain of love for him. And I feel blessed to have him in my life. He is the perfect son for me. For those of you that […]
