“I prefer to go deep and enjoy working with those eager to do the same.” This statement is from my Psychology Today profile and the words I find that resonates the most with people. I laugh to myself a little these days when I hear someone say, “I want to go deep.” Not because whatContinue reading “Safe Harbor”

Do you know how many ideas fly through my mind about what to write in this space in a day?  The day’s coming when I’ll turn into something akin to a seasoned comedian. You know the kind. The ones that ask for a pen from the waiter so that they can then jot down aContinue reading “8-Bit Livin”

This could be an ode to a Seinfeld-type of blog; just a whole lot of nothing with a little bit of something. Now that has a ring to it.
