What’s the most delicious thing you’ve ever eaten? Tiramisu…I remember the first time I heard this word. I thought it might be some oriental pain relief technique or meditation practice.

What is your favorite season of year? Why? My favorite season of the year is Fall. Because I don’t like cold or hot, Winter and Summer are out for me. Give me a time of year when there is a cool breeze and the beauty of the day is strangely found in what is dying.…
