At the beginning of this year (or rather at the end of last year) I decided that my word for the year was going to be “joy”. And, just how elected presidents usually reflect a reaction to the previous president, a word of the year most certainly reflects […]
I had an eye-opening experience this past week. But let me give some context beforehand. Please note that weeks before I used to label these bits “digressions”. Now, this is context. I’m evolving in my descriptors. I like texting. I far prefer texting to talking on the phone. […]
My mom loved pranking. For her, April Fool’s day was everyday. It may where I get my sense of whimsy and love of the absurd. Although, I am no fan of theatre of the absurd. Many, many years ago I saw the Ionescu play Rhinoceros and I felt […]
Here is the deal. I don’t cook. I used to. Many moons ago. I was good. I could be good again. I know how to follow recipes, I’m curious, and I know how to garnish. I made really great curries, chowder, stews, and empanadas. Saucy foods were my […]
First off, I didn’t technically miss my flight. I don’t believe I have ever missed a flight. And, I used to travel a lot for work. Often, I used to be on the road twice a month. And now, I have a lot of miles and perks. But […]

Back in college, I had a lot of academic interests. Although, there was never any question that psychology would be my major. My major major. I ended up with a double major with political science. I know I was a major nerd, geek, or whatever other term that […]
I’m not going to go off on a tangent here or there. Or take a full paragrapgh or two to get to the main point. It’s a new week and I need some sleep and need to put this to bed. Here we go. For the last few […]
