Hey everyone, it’s Whatever Wednesdays again. I could talk more about my Dodgers and how awesome they’re playing, but today we’re going to go to a topic with a little more depth. Let’s talk about Cognitive Dissonance. What is Cognitive Dissonance?

Hey everyone, it’s Finance Fridays again. Today I’m going to talk about a concept that people seem to understand intuitively as common sense, but I will try to flesh out… it’s the “Pay Now or Pay Later” concept. Pay Now or Pay Later? Yea. It’s kind of a companion post to my prior post of: Buy the Best Versus Buy Cheap So, let me first give you some background from when I was a kid: […]

Hey everyone, it’s Medicine Mondays again. It’s about that time again… the Match has come and gone. Let’s talk about “Preparing for Residency”.

Hey everyone, it’s Whatever Wednesdays again… today we’re going to talk about “The Need to Declutter”. The Need to Declutter? Yea. We moved to Hawaii 5 years ago now, and we’ve lived in this house for about 3 years now. When we first moved to Hawaii, it was just me, my wife, and baby Kylie. We didn’t have much of our own stuff since we lived in a furnished condo. Kylie had her toys, but […]

Hey everyone, it’s Medicine Mondays —- but on Tuesday! Today is kind of a follow-up post to Take Care of Your Eyes and Part Two. We’re going to talk about Giant Papillary Conjunctivitis. Giant Papillary Conjunctivitis? Yea. I think I may have mentioned it in passing in my prior few posts, but I wanted to devote a whole post to this topic. Most likely my wife and I both have some form of this disease. […]
