[Wilson Gray]

"this is the house I was tempted to try to[*] persuade the entire family to
sell all our homes and move into together"

[*Remember the days when stylists fought tooth and nail to end the use of
_try and_ in place of _try to_? As a former try-and speaker, every time
that I see "try to," I'm reminded.]

All say, "How hard it is that we have to die!"---a strange complaint to
come from the mouths of people who have had to live.
-Mark Twain
