A retired New York City psychotherapist having practiced Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, because it actually works. Relocated to Ottawa to be close to our daughter, son-in-law and our grandchildren. I blog about U.S. politics, terrorism, satire and the culture wars. Currently working on my third novel, a suspense spy thriller in the same order as Brad Thor but with more humor. My personal blog is Brain Flushings at: robhoey127.blogspot.com
