The Slap and Cohousing
I wrote this months ago way before the Slap that was heard around the world at the Oscars 2022. The Slap is a novel and it was made into a TV series in it’s homeland of Australian and then into … Continue reading
Tiger King, Elizabeth Holmes (The Drop Out), Narcissists and Me

For one of my new year’s resolutions I gave up zoom. I’m not crazy – not entirely, just as many as possible that I can avoid. So, now it’s just for work and a few of the close friends I … Continue reading
warped studies on cohousing?
