Smooth seas do not make skillful sailors. AFRICAN PROVERB

Welcome! What's this shrink’s life like? Just like yours: too much to handle gracefully. Surprised? Don’t be. Shrinks are people too. Doesn’t all that training keep trouble away? That would be nice, but no. More like, a pratfall a day keeps the doctor in play. 

I post weekly-ish, except when I don't. Personal essays and spoofs, among other stuff. Maybe you’ll chuckle. Or think. Or— A-ha!  

More About Yours Truly

Among other things, I am a board certified psychiatrist. Hubby (also a board certified shrink), Son, Poodle Oodle and I live in a tiny rural town in upstate New York, just south of the Canadian border. I practice tai-chi most mornings, but certainly not at 5 a.m. I’m all about fruits and veggies. I belly dance, sort of. And I’m seditious, a (former) secret closely guarded by my nearest and dearest with blackmail threats. Well, now you’ve read this, the word is out.
