Abstract
Apples were always special for Sally. As far back as my boyhood, I remember my father eating an apple every day after lunch or dinner, sometimes both. What I remember best is not that he ate the apples but how he ate them. He did not savor them like he might a favorite food. It was more like an automatic procedure, an ingrained habit, with no thought or attention. Bite into it, chew it, and swallow it. If he was reading or writing, he would continue undistracted. My concerns about the poisonous cyanide contained in the seeds went unheeded. He would eat the whole apple, core and all, minus the stem. It was as if he had done it forever and maybe he had.
