A site dedicated to imagination in all its forms. The right brain=the zany side may be bogus, scientifically speaking, but it's a part of the folk wisdom. Let's buy bogus.
There are various lists of Right Brain functions vs Left Brain functions. Here's a sampling.
Right uses feeling, Left logic, R likes big picture, L small detail, R preoccupied with imagination, L with fact, R embraces symbols & images, present & future, philosophy & religion, L words & language, present & past, math & science, R appreciates, L acknowledges, R fantasy-based, L reality-based, R impetuous, L practical, and my all-time favorite, R can "get it" even as L can comprehend it. Although a political lefty, I'll take the risk. Of course, we're never just one or the other, but I like the chance to release the power of the right side.

Test you right brain versus your left brain at

If you see figure turning clockwise, your right side is in charge; if counterclockwise your left side. BUT by staring at it you can observe a change in direction. We have 2 sides and we need both!

i am richard l. garner with a phd but who cares.

you’ll find me on facebook. i also own an eclectic site http://www.insidemydesk.com and an ultra-serious site http://www.historydatadesk.com.

you can reach me at richlygarner@gmail.com.

my primary home is ann arbor, my real home is paris.

i was a retiree-ski-bum for 6 years at lake tahoe.

really i'm nasty, inconsiderate, grumpy, quirky - exiled almost everywhere i worked - and then my nephew, michael, with 1 photo, had to undo a reputation i've spent a lifetime cultivating.

Do you have a list of pieces of art you wished you owned but can't. The 3 pieces below I wish were on my walls.
