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.
Daily Prompt: Giving My 26 Bones a Time out in a New York Minute I am the quintessential New Yorker: I have never had a driver’s license, I speed walk everywhere and I tend to eat lunch either on my feet, at my desk or with a cocktail. […]
