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.
As a kid who grew up poor in the South Bronx, I benefited from help from extended family members and the kindness of strangers. As such, I grew up with the mentality that one must, at some point, pay it forward. This is partly why I […]
Sometimes you overhear your kids say the darndest things. Sometimes you overhear them say some really smart things. Sometimes you hear them say the sweetest things that stick in your heart and mind. My son does all of the above. Each day I am a bit stunned (although […]
I love the adventure of traveling around around the world. And while I like planning some parts of my trips, I don’t necessarily plan everything out. I like to see what I find on the ground. Obviously some things like traveling between countries while already on the […]
While in Hong Kong, I was reminded of one of my favorite shows ever. That being BattleStar Galactica (the new one). So well written, acted and just overall grand intensity. It was a show that I looked forward to watching each week. Although, I must admit, that […]

I love travel. Didn’t do much of traveling growing up. However, once I had a job I hit the trails at full speed. I believe in the power of travel and thus have exposed my son to different states and countries at a very early age. He has […]
Despite severe jet lag and a deep desire to wake up at 2am yet still sleep, we went off on an early morning (and eventual day-long) adventure. The day was foggy giving Kong Kong an eerie sense of ghosts abounding through the landscape. It could very well […]
