Inertia Quotes in The Art of Fielding

Once Guert Affenlight gets hold of Owen, he doesn't want anything to change, not even the mugs they use to drink their post-coital coffee from. Why is this? Is it because Affenlight knows that he isn't getting any younger?`

See what we mean? This quote goes beyond baseball to everything. Henry wants his life to always remain the same. Is that a realistic goal? What is Henry doing to achieve that, and will he succeed?
