A gourmet meal without a glass of wine just seems tragic to me somehow.

I'm a bit of a wine snob and like a glass of Chateaux Margaux '82 with a meal or to unwind.

That's the great paradox of living on this earth, that in the midst of great pain you can have great joy as well. If we didn't have those things we'd just be numb.

It's such a strong smell, they think it's a gourmet meal,

We rob ourselves of so much by focusing on the wrong stuff. And the ability to get into the moment and deal with what is, that's the real opportunity.

Anyway, our family went into complete crisis mode. I have two older brothers, and we rallied as a family.
