I have learned that only two things are necessary to keep one's wife happy. First, let her think she's having her own way. And second, let her have it.
I think I'm in the same mood as ever, but in some ways more mature. I guess you could say that, at 65, when you've seen the world shape up as I have, there are only two things you can do: laugh or kill yourself.
You get involved with a character after spending a long time waiting, and this demands a lot of energy and concentration.
