    A Beautifully Written Article in the Times About Seeking a Simpler Life

    The subject of the article is fascinating and I must say that the reporter writes like a dream.

    Mr. Wells, a sociable and cheerful host, is more than content to be living alone.

    “I’ve been single for so long,” he said. “I can’t imagine not being single. The thought of compromising my day doesn’t appeal to me; I don’t care what the benefits are.”

    That resonated perfectly with me.
