World domination really isn’t what it used to be. I remember (well… not TECHNICALLY. Mostly what I “remember” is from either movies or video games) when one army met another army in a specific location and whoever walked away alive now owned the others territory. No civilian losses (unless the conquering army was full of […]

Is it not wonderful to have all the choices in the world? For many of us this is literally the definition of success, having the ability to choose. We all strive to steer our own boat, be master of our own destiny. But is this really true? Does having unlimited choices actually make anyone happy?

My endocrinologist suspects I have sleep apnea. I say “my” endocrinologist as if we have some kind of relationship. I’ve spent only twenty minutes with this doctor, after first seeing my gynecologist, internist, naturopath, and acupuncturist. Let’s face it, when you are a middle-aged woman with symptoms of exhaustion, weight gain, and headaches, no one […]

Car insurance is a notoriously dry subject. As a matter of fact, if you were to walk up to someone at a cocktail party and say, “Hey, do you want to talk about some car insurance?” they’d probably look at you like you were crazy-then spend the rest of the night looking over their shoulder […]

Not that any of this was ever really true, in more recent years, but I want to exaggerate the point; teenagers are just not the […]
