In later years, he and Shirley split their time between Manhattan and Woodstock. “At this point in our lives, we do virtually nothing,” he told The Post in 2017. “We have a beautiful house in Woodstock [NY]. It’s the alternation of those experiences that matter. “After we’ve been in Woodstock a week or two, we think of NYC as a vacation. The ability to choose your energy level and environment, and feeling you have that choice, makes it delightful. “At a certain point, you find you want to spend most of your time alone — in this case, with your wife — doing modest things and not going more than six or eight blocks from where you live.](https://i0.wp.com/qwertywap.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/06/p3-2.jpg?resize=80%2C80&ssl=1)
