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.
When you walk the streets of New York you should avoid eye contact with all people. Avoid eye contact with the crazies, the self-talkers, and even the handsome model types for those will turn on you faster than women can line up for a Prada sample sale or […]
Technically, summer is still with us for exactly one more week. We get to frolic in the ever-shortening sun-filled days and perhaps take a swim or two outside, if the weather gods permit. We have a few more days of slathering on the sun block and filling our […]
