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 a New Yorker, I am quite cynical. But as I’ve noted before, I’m actually quite sunny as well. I’m a blend of New York and California. Thus, my cynicism is curved and not pointed. Whatever that means to you. One thing in that vein, that I have […]
Many years ago I was called in to see my son’s teacher. This was pre-k. What could the teacher want to talk to me about? Turns out my son didn’t (and still doesn’t) like cupcakes. But he felt some obligation to be polite. His four year old brain […]
When the television show the Flash first came, I loved it. Brought new energy. New story lines with good arcs. A surprise villain. A good recipe for a new show in a franchise. It has not outlasted its companion shows (other then DC Legends) but I barely recognize […]
Let me state from the outset. I can cook. I can follow a recipe. I can improvise a bit. I just choose to not cook these days. Or rather it’s a bit hard to in my NYC apartment and I don’t push it. Now, with that out of […]
” The hardest challenge is to be yourself in a world where everyone is trying to make you be somebody else.” E.E. Cummings I’m not your savior I’m not an angel I’m not the keeper of your secrets I’m not your doormat I’m not the Berlin Wall I’m […]

I don’t know who needs to hear this. I don’t know who needs to repeat this over and over again. Here’s the deal. I bring too much to the table to be treated like a napkin. I have earned a seat at the table. I am full of […]
This morning I received an inbox advertisement for Microsoft Cloud which noted it was good for sustainability. That word sustainability caught my eye. Everything these days is about sustainability or so say millions of people. If something is sustainable it is able to be maintained at the current […]
Today is a day in which I hope to get some rest and decompress. With that said, I’m going to try to avoid watching the news. I’m sure I’ll catch a little here and there. I’ll also try to avoid anymore of the Will Smith and Chris Rock […]
Look, I used to be a huge Oscars fan. I even threw my own parties with silly trophies, popcorn, and own red carpet. Then they got to be less and less fun to watch. At some point, it came to be I hadn’t seen the majority of the […]
