And he's discovered that being a "wrinkly" has its advantages, too—he can express his feelings with as much freedom and force as he likes. So here he is—with warmth and wit and no-holds-barred opinions—on everything from marriage to manners and mobile phones to memories of times past. Out of the woods, but definitely not yet over the hill, this is life according to the inimitable Gervase Phinn.</P>
