I have always had cats and I would say I am neither a cat person nor a dog person. I like both for different reasons and I like having both. In particular I like the esthetic quality of cats around a house, they add something visually to the landscape of a room or garden that…

There is some deep and valuable study about human nature in here – I’m just not quite sure what it is yet. But it is the fundamental difference between those who eat their least favorite things off the dinner plate first so they can end with the good stuff and those who eat the good…
Maybe you have heard the good news? It’s not about Jesus so i’ll give you a hint: the genius that is Silicon Valley has invented something that has alluded humanity for millennia and will now save us from untold horrors – yippee! I’m willing to bet you didn’t even know you needed this but now…
Sometimes it’s hard to decide what to do. Sometimes it’s not. Are you going on a date with that guy you kind of like? Not sure, it’s up in the air. Going to buy the new shoes that are a great deal but you don’t really need? Hard to say, up in the air. Where…

The transition from one year t the next is always a good time to reflect since it is a natural (even if invented) break. It would probably make more sense to have the new year start on the solstice since that is a clear transition point, but then it is rather pagan and I guess…
Eggs that is. Perhaps you have heard about the new perk you get as a woman working at Apple or Facebook. No more do you need to worry about pesky things like biology or nature, these have been concurred. Having children while also working or building your career is no longer something you have to…
