I Am Not Really Retired, And May Never Be Completely, But I Can't Think Of A Better Place To Contemplate Retirement Than New York City.

The Greatest Luxury Is Being Able To Go To Movies And Plays Now And Then In The Afternoons.

And I'm In Favor Of That Because I Have A Gay Son, Who's A Very Successful Theater Designer.
