One Today was my 24th session of Deep Brain Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation. I feel amazing. There have been a few difficulties, but they are all related to the flood of emotions that returned after my first treatment. When you are in the grips of a deep depressive episode, you stop having other emotions, at least…
One 1. America has many problems, but we can solve most of them if we had the political will and moral courage to take them on, but we do not… as least the @GOP does not. Look at their voting records. They routinely vote against the best interests of their own supporters and in favor…
One There are few people as brave as the anonymous #Twitter user. These resolute souls actually take the time to create a secret account and then fearlessly go forth to battle their foes in the arena of public stupidity. Free of the cares of those who actually put themselves out there, these courageous men and…
One There are too many shows to watch. We subscribe to an obscene number of streaming services, all featuring shows I love watching or want to watch. The problem is that every time I log on to scroll and see what’s available; I end up paralyzed by the sheer volume of choice, and so end…

What exactly is the Friday 5 you ask? If you look it up on the web, sites like Urban Dictionary piss all over these types of posts, calling them “a blogger meme”. Most people just pose five questions and leave it at that… not me. I like to use it to write about five random…
My wife and I have two children. As I get older, I miss them more and more. I see them often, but I miss them as they were when they were small. The ghost of every happy memory haunts my mind. I have heard no one speak of this, but I can only assume it’s…
I have a confession to make. Since January, I’ve been on leave from my teaching position. I had the best fall semester I’ve had in years; it was amazing; my classroom stayed organized. I could keep up with grades. The kids were learning; it was almost too smooth. Then we went on break and it…
The Lessons of ADHD-C First, imposter syndrome is one of my biggest challenges. It’s a daily battle to convince myself that I’m not a complete fraud, but I still put myself out there every day and you can, too. 2. There are countless combinations of symptoms, so just because someone doesn’t have your particular flavor…
