“Book Descriptions: And Now This is a memoir in small bites. Everyone has the desire to write their life, capturing what was important, funny, and sad; remembering people, places, and events that mattered. There's stuff you just want to write down, for yourself and for those you like and love. Rick Bailey does this, but rather than giving the whole long arc of his life, he focuses on the small stuff. Go to Italy with him. Go to the grocery store with him. Hike Yosemite with him. Go for a drive with him. Go back to high school (no!!!!) with him. These essays are funny, heart felt, and rich in detail, narrated in an infectious, conversational voice.

“An irresistible garden of delights, the perfect blend of wise and witty ruminations about life and travel, the joys of good food, and the endless idiosyncrasies of language.” Donald Levin, award-winning author of historical fiction and the Martin Preuss Mystery Series.
“It is a pleasure to find ourselves back in the hands of a gifted and perceptive essayist. Once again he combines thoughtful insights with his sly sense of humor.” Richard Ault, author of Names in the Hat.
“I see Rodin’s Thinker, before he sat down. Having traveled the world, observed its beauty, its flaws, its rich possibilities, he uncorks a bottle of wine and mulls it over. Bailey wants to get it right, and trust me, he does.” Diane DeCillis, author of When the Heart Needs a Stunt Double
"In this this wonderfully original approach to memoir writing, Rick Bailey captures the inconsequential moments of daily life and presents them with humor and surprising insight." Ed Demerly, author First Years: A Farm Boy Faces the Future.” DRIVE
