I have not sat down in my own living room for years.

20 years ago we watched TV there.
Who watches TV now?

When that room is packed with Christmas tree and people, I do not get a ringside seat.

The grandkids work on Legos on the floor in the living room.

There is nothing noble in being superior to your fellow man; true nobility is being superior to your former self. -Ernest Hemingway
The man who makes no mistakes does not usually make anything.-- Edward John Phelps
