A love story - written for and about the author's late wife, Alice. Though he deals with the heartbreak of losing her, he successfully depicts their loving, funny relationship. Or, as he tells it of the night they met: "You have never again been as funny as you were that night," Alice would say, twenty or thirty years later. "You mean I peaked in Decemberof 1963?" "I'm afraid so."
