1 | One of the lines in “Man Of La Mancha” spoken of the Duke in the play by Cervantes/Don Quixote is, “He carries his self-importance as if afraid of breaking it”, amuses me immensely. No one should take himself that seriously. |
2 | It would be difficult to decide in my roller coaster existence, just when I had my ‘Best Day.’ Perhaps it was when I married my present wife, Vera. Or the day when my three children were born. Certainly the day I came away cancer-free from a prostate operation stands near the top. For now, everyday seems as if it should be the best day of them all. I like to think of them as such. |
