It is time for you to meet the person who writes this blog. The picture is nice, but it makes me look better than I really am. When my kids were young, they called me a "nut case"....even sometimes I became a whole "nut squad" (would that be multiple personality disorder?). Having been through two marriages, now refusing to attend any of the local 'meat markets' (READ: singles groups--although I have recently considered joining SugarDaddie.com), having a highly effective strategy in the stock market ("Buy High, Sell Low") which makes for a famished portfolio, and being on a first name basis with the IRS (they prefer to be called the US Treasury--sounds more gentle they hope), I admit the kids were and are correct. I still act like a nut case...But then, what can you expect. I am a forensic psychologist. I shrink the heads of people in trouble with the law. I meet regularly with the "pillars of society" (READ: criminal element of the great State of California). I will write about what I have learned from and about the underbelly of human existence. I am a member of the American Psychological Association...or maybe I forgot to pay my dues this year. I tend to wait to pay my bills until I get the notice threatening shut off service. To me, life is a tumultuous adventure. If your life is smooth and/or boring, you are not doing things correctly. My favorite color is blue, or maybe red, or maybe black or maybe whatever color money is these days. So now you know a little more about me. I will write more about each of these issues (and others) later. SMILE!
