I was talking to someone yesterday about the lack of contact from my psychiatrist. She provided me with insight that never ever, ever, ever considered. — The person claimed that I felt the psychiatrist abandoned me. She urged me to reach out to the psychiatrist. I was the person who was ‘abandoning.’ I jumped to conclusions… Read more

Head Shrinkers is how my dad used to refer to the psychological profession. Or, to be short, just ‘shrinks.’ I’m willing to bet this sounds like a derogatory term for those in the profession. A person doesn’t go through college, internships, and the fear of starting new to be referred as a poor name. I understand… Read more

For those not educated in fortune tellers who have been dead for nearly 500 years, Nostradamus was a reputed Roman Catholic, physician, and apothecary. He survived the Black Plague, attempted to find a cure, and had several children. One of his many admirers was Catherine de Medicis – a very wealthy and influential woman who… Read more

Fox, CNN, and other broadcasters directly talk about the hurricane or shrink the redundant blue/green/red/yellow swirls to the right-hand corner of the screen just in case if people don’t watch it, it could… Read more

Seattle has its heart in the right place. — It really does. Best intentions… but we all know where that path leads. Newsflash everyone – The mandatory minimum wage to $15 does not promote spending. It does not help uneducated single parents feed their children. It does not mean people get what they want –… Read more

I have a selective memory. Of that, I have no doubt. There are certain memories that stand out and will never be forgotten. There are some memories that change with age. But, when encountered with something that causes a lot of stress or a ‘life changing’ situation, I tend to gently bury it in the… Read more

I don’t look at the Columbus paper often. – I guess I became a bit spoiled in Florida. There, I read the Wall St. Journal, Bloomburg, the Economist and, every once in a while, the Tampa Tribune and the St. Pete Times. I can guarantee that there was never a front page headline about keeping… Read more

Some 15 years ago, when Jason worked at Sears and I at Knology, we were on a carousel. Our lives were fairly controlled. We had some time off together. The work was mostly steady. We knew what we had to do in our respected jobs day in and day out. Based upon scheduling, we actually… Read more
