She took the old cookbook off the shelf, read the title for the umpteenth time, Cooking for Couples, a wedding gift more than a half-century ago. She flipped through the dog-eared pages slowly, remembering. It had served them well when they were newlyweds and then after the kids had grown and moved on. Seemed like just yesterday. Fifty-five years. She set it down on the counter and picked up her newest purchase, Cooking for One.

A Short Walk West
For the past several days since I arrived, he has been telling stories. Terminal tales he calls them. I am amazed that he can joke about it. I am equally amazed that he is talking so much. In just these few days, he has spoken more to me, it seems, than in all the years since I was born.

Rachel Reviews: The Spiral Archive by Pieter Hendrik
It's difficult for me to know where to start with a review of this book as it was, for me, an entirely unique experience and one that I'll probably never have again. I don't want that to be interpreted as unenjoyable but it has left me scratching my head a little and ruminating on its content, its themes and its characters.
