http://therascribbles.blogspot.com/2011/06/but-first.html
Therapy through Scribbling: One person's blog journey through the depths of depression. Humor is along for the ride. Friday, June 10, 2011. About a family member who has recently begun, outwardly at least, experiencing anxiety and depression. The update is thus: said elderly member of the family has been to a Doctor and is receiving help. Specifics I do not know, but I do know that it's being attended to. I still feel deep and everlasting shame that I was not able to help. That won't be muted. For obviou...

Knowledge Is Necessity: Didgeridoo Festival!
http://knowledgeisnecessity.blogspot.com/2012/08/didgeridoo-festival.html
From God to Neurons. Thursday, August 23, 2012. I recently returned from three weeks off the grid. Four days of it was spent sharing a tent with my special someone at a didgeridoo festival deep in the Oregon woods. In the film business, they call this an establishing shot. We woke up to the sounds of this babbling brook running past our tent - and to didgeridoos and drums. We fell asleep to same. Chad Butler, cool didge guy, who has been organizing this event since 1996. Posted by John McManamy. I learn ...

http://knowledgeisnecessity.blogspot.com/2012/09/the-smart-idiot-effect-why-you-cant.html
From God to Neurons. Friday, September 14, 2012. The Smart Idiot Effect: Why You Can't Reason With Republicans. Two years ago, I posted a piece here, Is Republicanism the New Stupid? The short answer, I concluded, is yes. The long answer is more involved. You can write a book on it. Journalist Chris Mooney has: “The Republican Brain: The Science of Why They Deny Science and Reality.”. May the best ideas prevail, right? Everyone benefits, right? Wrong For one, the brain is not wired to rationally sift thr...

Knowledge Is Necessity: Is Republicanism the New Stupid?
http://knowledgeisnecessity.blogspot.com/2010/09/is-republicanism-new-stupid.html
From God to Neurons. Wednesday, September 1, 2010. Is Republicanism the New Stupid? Republicanism isn't a party. It's a diagnosis."

From God to Neurons. Monday, September 10, 2012. Rerun: My Good Friend Kevin. In honor of World Suicide Prevention Day . Eight years ago, I was facilitating a DBSA support group in Princeton, NJ. In walked Kevin, exuding a goofy charm, baseball cap on backward. But there was something about his presence that indicated he was no mere goofball. The others in the room felt it, too. In late 2006, my marriage broke up. Kevin was the first to offer me support. He also reached out to my then-wife. Suddenly, I h...
