Dogs are the best!
Kaili, born on February 27, 2016, entered our lives as a 2-month-old puppy. A rescue dog from the SPCA Mission Campus, she was 2.87 Kilograms (6.3 lbs.) She would become our third dog and the wackiest, loving, cuddling of the trio. We had just said, “Goodbye to Cody, our Husky-Malamute who passed away at 13 years old. At first, we were adamant about not adopting a dog for a while, but after a visit to the adoption center, we left with a tiny, cute puppy. Now seven years ago, she is fantastic. She saved my life because, in September 2022, I lifted her and strained my back, leading to X-rays, an MRI, CT-Scan, and Alan Mitchel Kramer, the oncologist who diagnosed that I had curable but aggressive cancer. Life can change in a hurry.

Food
When I look at food advertisements, I often see a mélange of confusion. Yet, I love to break food down to its fundamental core—ingredients, cooking method, and sauces. By returning to the basic construction of a dish, I can understand its flavors and what beverage matching could work. Food and wine pairing is an enjoyable subject that wine and food professionals love to discuss. We can do the same and enjoy this trip from the kitchen to the dining room.

Travel
One doesn't have to fly across the ocean to travel. We can travel daily by leaving the house, and exploring nearby parks or community gathering places can open one's horizons. When one travels far away, one expands life's visions. I have always returned with a greater understanding of other cultures on my wine trips abroad. Travel with me as I uncover new and exciting people, places, and communities.
