In this episode, Bill Leighty shares the story of why he took over cooking dinner for his wife Bonnie every single night for the past decade — not out of culinary passion, but out of a decade-long struggle to remember anniversaries and birthdays. What started as a fix for his own unreliability became something deeper: a daily, methodical act of devotion that Bill has come to see as its own form of creativity, even though it looks nothing like his wife’s effortless improvisation in the kitchen. The Editorial Team at The Encore Project found this conversation both funny and quietly moving.
