Post 36- Worst Superhero Ever
excerpt
I love superheroes. Decades (that is how old I am) before the Marvel Cinematic Universe started in 2008 with the first Iron Man movie in 2008, I was a huge comic book fan. In fact, there may or may not be an unconfirmed rumor that I have a tattoo of a certain comic book character.…

Post 35 – Muscular Bag of Acid
excerpt
It frustrates me that I still get nervous over things that I think I shouldn’t. I am a man of quite a few decades who has achieved a fair bit and overcome a slew of problems. Also, I’m a psychologist who has read a ton of research on getting nervous. I would have thought that…

Post 34- Bigger Batteries
excerpt
Decades ago, I bought a house at an auction. Literally, at an auction on a street, with the whole, going once, going twice, sold. I was in my early twenties and it was all I could afford. It was 900 square feet of basic living space. The 120-year-old, reclaimed hardwood floors were charming but didn’t…

Post 32 – Christmas Vacation
excerpt
I used to have a 50 /50 love / hate relationship with vacations. When say vacations, I’m talking about everything from a weeklong trip to a destination, a long weekend off from work, and even major holidays such as Christmas. Now it is a 99 /1 love relationship. It isn’t that my vacations have changed…

Post 31 – Bad Perfume
excerpt
I don’t like a lot of perfumes. Wait. That’s can’t be true. I haven’t smelled a lot of perfumes. So I can’t dislike a lot of them. But of the ones I’ve smelled, I don’t like most. There are some I do like. Kind of a weird way to start off a blog post or…

Post 30 – Impatient CEO’s
excerpt
Let me start by saying the title of this post is not a dig at business leaders or decision-makers whose responsibility it is to make more money. I respect anyone who runs a business of any size. It is a much harder job than many people think it is. I wish I was better at…

Post 29 – Bowling Balls and Blankets

If you have listened to a few of the previous episodes or if you time travel and have listened to future episodes (see blog post 15, Building Robots), you might have already determined that I have some uncommon thoughts. If you think my thoughts are uncommon now, you should’ve seen them decades ago when I…

Post 27 – Day Dreaming in Class
excerpt
I have been a teacher longer than I have been a student. I’ve been on both sides of the desk and both sides have their pro’s and their con’s. I think one of the worst things about ‘growing up’ or at least leaving high school is not getting to participate in organized activities. For many…
