You eat. You love. You live.

The 82-year old mother of New York Times contributor and humorist Henry Alford made mention of the nature of her eating habits, by explaining:

“So when they served cherry cobbler for dessert that night in the dining room, I thought, I better take this back to my room and eat it tomorrow. For breakfast.”

And so began a ‘true as true ever comes’ story Henry wrote for the New York Times today.  What a great piece!  There’s classic Henry prose in this piece; it makes for an easy read.  But more importantly, the message is all about how life being lived in the grandest form you can muster probably becomes a part of how long you actually get to mener le grande vie as it were.
