Yeah. The deal is to, uh, be a little bit as cheap as I was when I grew up in the fifties. And, uh, to do things for yourself or by yourself. Like, especially going cross town, I don't need to take a car. The subway is usually better. And so I do that. Although I did get here on a limo because someone else paid for it. And they really wanted to.
So the deal is that now and then I will go to a fancy dinner. Oh yeah, that's nice. You have to treat yourself to good food. The thing is that you could find good food a lot more cheaply and with a little bit more fun. And so a lot of those things I just don't get. And I... wouldn't mind having a smaller house, but the wife's side of the family is very, very large.

I have one nephew and one niece. The nephew just got married, and I had to attend that one. However, on my wife's side, we have 20 children. Nephew and nieces. Oh, that's too many. Well, it mostly means that I've learned to control my language. Yeah. Because I don't want to catch shit from any of my relatives.

And I should have overindulged myself. But it was the first auction I actually seriously participated in. And I just didn't get anything.

I don't recognize it. I didn't have anything in color. I did his black and white prints. And you're heading into some of the ones that just passed. The ones in the middle right now, two of them I think I have.

My wife was an art major, so she knows this stuff. and a lot of it these days is cheap at auction, and she's good at that. She's gotten good at a number of things, including free upgrades while flying. Oh, yeah, it's a deal. That's her new hobby, and she's good at it.
