Throw it out and you blaze a path
We have told the story and opened the door to the stranger. The Seder plate was not complete until my niece had had a hand in the making of the charoses, using the wooden bowl and chopper inherited from my great-grandmother. It must have been a common household object once. My mother has never mentioned it outside of Pesach; my entire lifetime, it has seen only this holiday use. Beyond the generation of its origin, I have never had any clear idea of how old it is: the century needed for sentience, perhaps. I certainly feel affectionate toward it. I hope for it to last long enough to be handed on to my niece. By then it should be able to tell its own stories.

rushthatspeaks came bearing a DVD of Anthony Mann's The Furies (1950), a gift from nineweaving courtesy of the half-price Criterion sale. I did not expect it to come boxed with the source novel in a matching edition. I feel more films should be packaged this way—novels, short stories, playscripts, critical apparatus. If I feel like it, thanks to the Margaret Herrick Library Digital Collections, I can even move on to the PCA file.
Please enjoy this unexpected fake coconut palm around the corner from where I used to live.
