How cute is new SG @ester ? I'm totally smitten by those eyes of hers.
Do yourselves a favor and drop some love on her debut set
Oh, and also - I'm back. Just a little. For now.
Happy 11/9 Birthday to my fave babe, @saturn
And goodbye again, as my brief visit to the site ends this Friday.
Noticed just the other day that Brian Wilson and I share a birthday (not the year, just the day - and so far, the only other celeb birthday twin of mine that I'm aware of is Nicole Kidman). I do love that man, a real musical genius - I've started reading his biography "I am Brian Wilson", recently bought his new album "At my piano",...

Some of you may know that I'm actually a psychologist, with a diploma/MSc (but not a therapist), even if I do not really use a great deal of the stuff I learned in university. My main area of interest is personality, or more broadly the field of what is known as "individual differences". I try to keep up in a small way with new developments,...

Thanks to @ferkixlll who tagged me with this questionnaire originated by @weedfarmer (unfortunately, he misspelled me, so I never saw the tag until now). Aren't you guys getting tired of questionnaires? For better or worse, here goes (it's a little late, so just let's make it a Lunar New Year questionnaire):
1. Who's traveling in 2022? No long-range plans have been made yet. As I'm...

I'm not a believer in the zodiac or astrology in general, but I do follow -very loosely- the coming and going of the Chinese 12-animal zodiac. It seemed fitting that 2020 was the year of the Rat, an animal historically associated with plague and pandemic, and 2021 was the year of the Ox, an animal known for its patience among burdens, travails and adversity.
Now,...

Here's wishing everyone who reads this (and especially my friends on here, you know who you are!) a wonderful holiday season, whichever way you celebrate it (and even if you don't).
My own Christmas is overshadowed by the death of my father-in-law just a few weeks ago, as well as by the prospect of another Covid Christmas. I'm something of an outlier in that I'm...

Just when I thought it was safe to traipse around SG again, here comes @deesilvs tagging me with one more quiz (and a bilingual one at that!
What is your name? (nombre) Kai (pronounced to rhyme with sky)
How old are you? (edad) 56 - yes, I'm a certified geezer...
What is your astrology sign? (signo) Gemini (and my Chinese sign is *roar* Tiger)
Where...

Who else loves dragonflies? I must admit they are among my favorite insects, and I'm fascinated by the way they hover and dart around. And then there's Evinrude, a minor yet beloved character from Disney's The Rescuers.
Today, as I was walking through a busy (and drug dealer infested) Berlin park, scanning the ground for coins as usual, I happened to see the unusual sight...

I love walking the streets of Berlin and taking pics of the large and small murals and other street art, so I thought I'd share a few of them since I haven't posted anything in a while:

Gee, @ferkixlll nominated me, so I guess I'll have to... here go 20 questions and my less-than-spectacular (but honest) answers:
1. What food do you crave most often?
I don't really crave any food, being of the "we eat to live, not live to eat" school. That said, I have to admit to a craving for potato chips (strictly Lay's for me) every now and...
