Single Serving
Thing are not what they used to be.
A single serving is an amount on the label showing you what is inside. For many, the single serving seems like an unreasonable size. Europeans visiting the US note that the Super Size is far too big, that a medium is really large, and few locations still offer a small. In reverse, American's in Europe find the portion to cost ratio to be nearly theft compared to the perceived value a full plate provides in the United States. A single serving is a relative s...

SERIAL KILLERS: JUST WHAT’S GOING ON IN THEIR LETHAL MINDS AND WHY?
The term “serial killer” conjures up a terrifying combination of crazed rage, violence, and worse in our collective consciousness. But what if some of the most notorious names in this bloodied history are also victims of their own mind – and can we ever truly understand them?
Mad, bad, and incredibly dangerous to run into on a dark and stormy night, serial killers occupy a dark part of the American psyche – and remain a perennial favorite of true crime serials, TV shows, and twisted thriller w...

Christmas Tradition
She told this story not knowing what to really make of it. You see, when she was a little girl, there was this Christmas tradition that was the absolute anchor of her life.
Every year the family would decide to get a tree. Dad drove the girls to the woods where he would declare, "I thought I saw a good one this way the other day." She and her sisters wrapped in snowsuits, bundled in the hand nit scarfs from Aunt Alma the year before and mittens with strings up the sleeve across the back and d...

In fact, days surrounding the Thanksgiving holiday are not the busiest (highest number of travelers) in the US. It does not even make the top 10 list during the year. But...

Good ideas and where to find them
I am watching Doctor Who, and in next week's previews, there is a concept I have been exploring in the last year. There are times when these ideas are so close the mark, not this one, but others, when one wonders if there is a reason to be paranoid. Is someone watching me and stealing my ideas?
No, no, that is silly nonsense.
What is more likely, the patterns of thought exploration aligned with what we are sharing. If your diet of entertainment is all Star Wars, you have a different sense of...
