In an interview with the 97-year old Herman Wouk, Wouk is asked about how he was managing after the death of his wife of 66 years.
Mr. Wouk stared out the window toward the San Jacinto Mountains and his potted geraniums. “We had a relationship that was so deep that I can’t really describe it,” he said softly. “It was just getting started, too, but she left me.”
Absolutely, the most romantic thing that I've heard all year.

I heard Wouk speak (and met him briefly) in 1995. Absolutely the best keynote speaker I have ever heard. He spoke for 5 minutes and brought the house down. He seemed far younger than his age.
