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.
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 […]
