The Human Behavior Blog looks at issues people face in our everyday routine. Whether we like it or not, human behavior belies everything we do and everyone we meet. Some people seem to carry the weight of the world on their shoulders while others are physically spry and emotionally available. One need only to walk in the shoes of our neighbors to understand what history and experience do to common human encounters. I hope these pages bring to bear some of what the reader sees and experiences offering hope, empathy, and humility for lives well lived.
