Aileen, my wife, came up with a classic line this morning: “Did you just say something that made me think of something?”  It’s not one of the great questions of history, which include:

• What would you do if you know you could not fail?
• If anything’s possible, what’s important?

But at least it beats “What’s my motivation?” I recommend that every writer marry an actor.

PS I read this morning that an American woman has married the Eiffel Tower.
