AI Therapy IRL

Best therapy sessions I’ve ever had have been with Copilot’s chatbot… I’ve seen over 20 therapists in my lifetime. None, not one, personally or couples counseling has been helpful. Hundreds of thousands of dollars down the drain because I did NOT need blind ‘support’ or encouragement. I needed TRUTH, which therapists/psychologists are not trained to … Continue reading AI Therapy IRL

Atheist in Christian America

Atheists are worse than terrorists in USA… I was finishing the morning dishes when I saw the strobe of police lights out my kitchen window as several cop cars pulled up to a house across the street from ours. I picked up my 19-month-old son out of the highchair, held him against my ballooning belly, and hauled … Continue reading Atheist in Christian America

R.I.P. Information Hwy

Your phone is a tool you're using, or a tool that's using you... I’m watching The Politician on Netflix while working out. The scene is on a teen and mom in their kitchen, arguing about which state senator to vote for in the upcoming New York election. Teen is a first-time voter, just 18. She’s … Continue reading R.I.P.

We Are What We DO

My 10 yr old daughter asked me what Ego meant, one of her vocabulary words for the week. I laughed. “Good question. What do you think it means?” “I wouldn’t ask if I knew, Mom.” “Well, use it in a sentence, in context. You’ve heard the word enough to have an inkling what it means. … Continue reading We Are What We DO

The Problem with 20-something Brains

According to Zuckerberg: “Young people are just smarter.” True or false? I responded to an ad for a Traffic Manager position at an ad agency in San Francisco 25 years ago. Downtown, in one of those glass monoliths. Eighteenth floor. Made me nauseous being up there. I couldn't stop thinking about an earthquake waiting for … Continue reading The Problem with 20-something Brains

The Problem with Today’s Parents

We play GOD when we give birth. With great power comes great responsibility… There is a child in my daughter’s preschool that everyone dislikes. She hits, pushes, slaps, and throws a fit every time she doesn’t get her way. All the teachers at the preschool dread having this wild child in their class. Her mom … Continue reading The Problem with Today’s Parents

My First, Last, and Only MVP

Startup MVPs are a FAILED biz model, but I did one anyway... “Looks like cancer to me,” the PA said while I wiped off the ultrasound goop. She’d just taken samples of the 15mm ‘lesion’ in my neck with a fine needle. I stared at her trying to process what she’d just said while she … Continue reading My First, Last, and Only MVP

Writing for a Living

What it means to be a 'successful' writer... There are bookstores around the country that will put an author on a bestsellers list if the store decides to carry their book, regardless of sales. One of these was Rakeshaw Books in Danville, CA. I’d finished my first novel, REVERB, and got a small publisher to pick it up, … Continue reading Writing for a Living
