Kendall Jenner has a pretty face. So why does she want her pelvis to get all the attention? I know it’s a woman’s perogative to change her mind, but the cognitive dissonance sometimes is deafening. We are told that women … Continue reading
Listening to music
Yesterday for Fathers Day I decided to spend some time just listening to music. I don’t do that often enough. Music has become background to me for the most part, something to help me tune out the noise at work, … Continue reading
