I relate to the latest Lazy-boy commercial big time. It’s all about being lazy, savoring laziness, and proclaiming its value. You sit for as long as you want in that recliner, girlfriend! Rude (usual) Awakening Another night of insomnia with all my “to do’s” and “what...

Superego, ego, and id. Always liked that id, that runaway part of me going for it’s own thing. But the superego (the bossy part of my psyche that tells me what to do and not to do) kills all the fun. That leaves my ego (the integrated part of me) confused....
