Below is a roundup of these…
This has been a really incredible whirlwind of a birthday weekend. On Saturday, I had this wonderful little birthday dinner at the Berkeley City Club. Sunday, my friend Jiongyi made gumbo from scratch for me (it was amazing, and he had never had gumbo or even read a recipe for it– he just read the…
Typically, every Monday, I feature an image and backstory from my Pointe of View series. But today, I have a bit more to share, in the form of a special announcement… !

Grace and Stanley first met through a nonprofit that I also happened to work for a couple years ago. They were friends for a long while before they began dating.

I think I’ve found my new favorite holiday. It happens the day after Thanksgiving. After our meals with our respective families or other friends, we gather at Jenny and Kevin Yau’s home (“the Yauhaus”) and go for round two. And no, it’s not leftovers.

This time around, we…
