Wasps!

This is disturbing. I was working on a report today and looked up from my desk to find a wasp (two in fact!) in one of my lights in my office! This is the first time that’s happened in my current office, so I’m not really sure who to call. My first thought was the [...]

Magic Kingdom Memories

Our trip to Disney last weekend brought back memories and it amazes me how episodic memories function. In 1988, I visited Disney World for the first time. I was with a high school group and we went to Magic Kingdom and Epcot. What I find interesting is that nearly all of my memories are of [...]

Bingo in Restaurants? Only in Florida!

Popular Baby Names

A friend sent me a recent article from the New York Times — “Where Have All the Lisas Gone?“.
