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.
Growing up, my mom played the numbers. She would play pick 3 and do a combination draw. Whatever that meant. I have never actually done any of those lottery games despite my mother’s grand belief in them. She actually did have some luck. She often played her […]
Let me tell you a story. Talk? Dance? What did it all matter when there was a wheelbarrow to turn? There was no crowd to please. Where have you been all my life? I hide. I run. I shake. I shiver. I breathe. I sigh. I need […]
I lived in Europe many years ago for a year. Specifically, I lived in Spain. I have been there, done that in terms of the ex-patriot living abroad thing. It was cool. I would probably live abroad again. However, I probably wouldn’t do it in France. First off, I am […]

Stop for a second. Just one second. If you can’t, ask why not? Are you always running to and fro? Running from meeting to meeting? Running from errand to errand? Running like mad just to keep fit? And then what? Hey Mister: Can you spare a […]
I hate water. There I said it. Please don’t try to lecture me on how great water is and how much we, as humans, need water. I have heard it all before. I will just counter and counter some more any arguments you may have in favor […]
