It’s hard to explain the loss I feel for someone I did not know. It’s not because I lived in England for a brief time. I think it is more a sense of losing someone who was a stea… Read More
The last couple of weeks have been rough. I was going to share joyous (and so delicious) details about my first wine tasting trip to Napa Valley, but it just felt wrong. So, I’m going… Read More
