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 I hung out with my son encouraging him to fall asleep, he asked me “will you be here in the morning when I get up?” I thought that was strange and assured him that of course I would be there. I asked him why he was […]
It’s the end of the high road Time to jump and find one’s mettle The ladder back up ain’t so stable Use your wit to stay afloat Close your eyes and dive backwards The gnats won’t follow you down The caped man will jab your stare Fly down […]
