OK, I'll give it a try.

If I give up about half my Klondike-playing time I'll have time, and
if I can remember that I write with my right hand
[and the other hand is the left], I may be able to learn the skills, and
if I can find a way to stop my wife from laughing,
or at least from laughing audibly . . .
and from calling people in to watch and snicker . . .
