This was a good idea Hughsie. I've learned things I didn't already know about people.
Good on you Min for your work with dog rescue. We put my wife's aunt and uncle up to getting another dog in their early 80's when they didn't think they'd be around for another one. He -Fletcher- is the dog in my avatar here and my best canine friend ever. When Lia's uncle came home to die of bone cancer he grabbed my hand and said he wanted me to take Fletcher. I was happy to assure him he'd always have a home with us. At 13 now he is such a mellow boy and has always had a winning way with strangers, kids and other dogs. But being raised by octogenarians he is still profoundly unclear on the concept of a command. Fortunately his judgement and smarts are so good he rarely needs one.
I have taught mathematics to young people for more than twenty years and will probably go on doing so for a few more years. I started out as a math major in college but finished up as a philosophy major. My wife is an artist who teaches at a private art school here in the San Francisco bay area. We play cards with nearly every meal we have together. We walk with the dogs every day. Aside from her and the dogs - the other one is a three year old Texas Heeler who will have been with me for two years at the end of this month - my main passion is making my garden.
