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.
Until I owned a house in New York, I had no idea that dandelions were weeds and considered bad. Growing up in the Bronx, I thought of dandelions as pretty flowers that brightened up abandoned lots. I had no idea what weeds were. What’s a girl growing up […]
This rant I’m about to embark on has been a long time coming. It’s been brewing, stewing and marinating in my brain. My tongue has wanted to lash out 1001 times but I’ve shown remarkable restraint. This shall be my “about a boy” discussion. Have you seen the […]
I had quite a dilemma this week. I’m what is known as an extroverted introvert. I can function, even be gregarious, in groups but I hate large events. I was at a conference where my hotel was packed with participants from three different simultaneously held conferences. That was […]

I am a little behind on my movie viewing. I made it to the movie theatre three times this past year which was a lot more than my average viewing experience lately. When I fly cross country on my business trips, I get to treat myself to […]
Ever since I was a little girl, I liked being a contrarian. I liked talking. I was a chatterbox. And I liked countering people. Thus, I was maybe a bit much to take as a kid but my mother managed to turn my chatterbox nature into a plus. […]
