One of my intentions, sometimes realized, sometimes not, is to fully metabolize my life, meaning, I try to honor the “endings.” When I publish a newsletter, for example, I often read it top to bottom in the same way I know you are on a Wednesday morning, just to feel what is going out into the world.
Another shout out to Lynn Paltrow's outstanding essay, "Women, Abortion and Civil Disobedience" (Nova Law Review, 1999).
I'm still discussing with friends Michelle Cottle, "We had no Idea What Was Coming" about caring for a father (NY Times, op eds), followed by the Letters in response to Cottle entitled "Becoming Caregivers for Aging Parents" (Dec. 8th).
Finally, I hope that others have found Marion Nestle's "What to Eat Now" (2025), the vastly expanded new edition. DD
