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.
Sundays were a very special day growing up in my household. It was a day where I got to play board games with my mom and we sang and danced together. There were no cell phone or iPad application games that we individually played for hours on end. […]
I believe in ghosts. I also believe that mental states are probably not separable from physical states. There indeed are ghosts in the machine. I just didn’t think they would exist in my machine. Better yet, my phone and computer. I just recently got a new phone. Before […]
