MAX: As far as our activities are concerned: I don't have to tell you, they fell down a lot. Because, Mama cannot dance, and with Mama, without Mama, I'm not going to bother with it. That's the attitude from me, and the attitude from other people. So as a result the dancing don't come anymore, and therefore, we cut it out!

So, other things, the results are the same thing. I'm not trying to put everything on Mama's shoulders. I myself was never a big out-of-door man and believe it or not, I'm in fact very busy during the day. And during the evening, we [attend] movies Monday, bingo Wednesday, show on Sunday, and we try to add evenings also. But if you know, you're dealing with old people, and nothing's stable, nothing stays in one place.

So for instance... we're good friends with Bobby and Ziggy, and what happens? Ziggy goes away for six weeks to Chicago, comes back and has been ailing ever since. Mama can't sit outside because as soon as it gets dark it gets cool... she has to go upstairs... As a result, I also go upstairs.

Same thing with Rose, Barney's wife, add a little wet, a little dampness, she starts coughing, she goes upstairs. So, you see, nothing is stationary. For instance, last week, Mrs. Gelfand was in the hospital for one week. Esther Spital was in the hospital for one week…
