Sam is the MAN!

I'm never sure who is going to be joining me on my adventures to the grocery store, soccer practice, or the ever scary doctors office!!! One day my hero may be Captain America, the next Spider-man, a clone trooper, Batman, Black-widow, stealth ninja (this ones reserved for mall trips to hide in clothing racks). Sam is just too cool for jeans and a t-shirt, instead he'll sport a pair of cargo pants, brown leather jacket and a satchel in place of his backpack to school. When he exits our car, the drop off assistant is excited Indiana Jones made it to school on time!

Theory of Mind

Theory of Mind is the branch of cognitive science that investigates how we ascribe mental states to other persons and how we use the states to explain and predict the actions of those other persons. More accurately, it is the branch that investigates mindreading or mentalizing or mentalistic abilities. These skills are shared by almost all human beings beyond early childhood. They are used to treat other agents as the bearers of unobservable psychological states and processes, and to anticipate and explain the agents’ behavior in terms of such states and processes. These mentalistic abilities are also called “folk psychology” by philosophers, and “naïve  psychology” and “intuitive psychology” by cognitive scientists.

In respect to LYING.

My first rodeo

The people watching fantastic, the show exciting.. but my energy was spent before the final act. Maybe next year we'll all stay for the firework finally. 

Reading a classic

Dante's Inferno

 

Reads like a poetic Stephen King.
