“Ain’t nothing like the real thing” Ashford and Simpson, 1968 “Even better than the real thing” U2, 1991 When I was in undergrad[1], one of my psychology textbooks had a picture of a small bird trying to sit on a very large egg. The photo related to the work of the late Niko Tinbergen and […]
Okay. I am a few weeks late in putting this one out. If you read my last post, you know that I was away on an anniversary trip with my wife. I was a complete slacker on that trip (it was wonderful), and then paid for it the next week by playing catch-up[1]. So let’s […]
Q: What is the most powerful (significant, important) sex organ?

Consequently, there are commercials I have seen dozens of times and never heard the audio. It is sometimes interesting to note what moves […]
When the mirror tells us we’re older, I will hold you. I will be here to watch you grow in beauty and tell you all the things you are to me.
