About Dr. Smith
I live on the lake but really like the beach more. I start getting nervous if I haven’t put my toes in the sand in the past month. I read a lot of books and listen to several podcasts. I talk a lot, even in my sleep, and I shout out the answers to Jeopardy! in my own living room. I start listening to Christmas music in September and have Christmas lights on my office door year-round. I am lucky to be back at PC, even if no one in my family can pronounce “Experiential.”
