Happy Birthday to your mom. Her book "The Way We Ate" was one of my very favorites when I worked at WSU Press. And it was lovely working with her!

I love all your essays, but particularly this one - happy birthday to your mom and to her lucky son who gets to enjoy her company still!

Delighted to be reminded of the spectacular senior citizens of the natural world! While marveling at their longevity and considering the details, it occurred to me that I had never considered the possibility of a female geoduck. Congratulations to your mom! It is so wonderful that you have these years to enjoy her no doubt wonderful company.
