Revenge
Revenge is a deeply ingrained part of our human psyche. It is something that anybody in any culture, society, or religious affiliation can respond to. It has existed for millenniums, and it is a common theme in literature, movies, and novels throughout the years.

Things That Go Bump In The Night
Do you believe in things that go bump in the night? Do you believe in ghosts, vampires, witches, werewolves, and other creatures of the night? Do you believe in magic, the paranormal, things that cannot be measured by rigid, objective scientific standards?

Jealously
The emotion of jealousy is so strong, so all-consuming, such an adrenaline-fueled primitive response that it knows no boundaries of space, place, or time. Jealousy is one of the strongest, most primal of all the human emotions.

Flower Power
It was the Summer of Love in San Francisco in 1967, and we who were there remember it all like it was yesterday. It was the era of Flower Power, and I was graphically reminded of it the other day when I saw a stunning Facebook collection of photos from that actual time and place, now sealed away forever in our memories and our hearts where it remains forever young, fresh, and vibrant.

Now That I'm Dead, I See Things Differently
I can see the entire scope of our human lives, from newborn babies taking their first breaths of life to toddlers and children growing up and learning what it’s like to be a human being in today’s world.

Road Rage
Why is it that some people’s personalities change so radically when they get behind the wheel of a car? We have all heard of road rage and maybe even been subjected to it. But to me, it is still a very strange and curious phenomenon.

Books
I was reading a book yesterday, curled up in my favorite easy chair, and the thought struck me, how many people still read books today? It is a hectic, fast-paced world we live in today, with a million things happening all at once and time is always at a premium.

When The Music's Over
I love music! It doesn’t matter exactly what the genre, rock and roll, blues, jazz, hip hop, new wave, country, Indie, classical but I couldn’t live without it. I think that music is the heartbeat of life, and I agree with the fierce sentiment expressed in the iconic Jim Morrison’s song. I think that music is a universal language that almost everybody can relate to.

Hang Gliding
I have always been fascinated by hang gliding and the brave men and women who are hang gliders. I watch them soar and sail overhead, wafted about by the winds, riding the air currents like birds as they bank and swoop far overhead, their bodies extended in a flying position.

Dreams
What IS it about dreams that fascinate people so much? I am not talking here about wide awake, conscious hopes and plans and dreams, but the very personal and poorly understood nature of our sub-conscious sleeping dreams. I have always been mesmerized by dreams, and the dream state. What exactly is it?

A Day Cruise On San Francisco Bay
A while back, I went with my family on a day cruise on San Francisco Bay. It was only a 90-minute cruise, but it seemed to last all day! There is nothing like the exhilarating feeling of being out on the water, the choppy waves slamming hard into the boat as you bob and weave and plunge forward, ever forward into the next set of waves, hitting them both head-on and sideways.

Soulmates
Are you one of those people who believe in a soul mate? That there is that one special person in the world that is looking for you while you are looking for them?
