When I read that Cicero had left his son a series of brief personal \"letters,\" I was disappointed that my parents had not done something similar. That's when I decided to learn from the \"sin\" of their omission and salt away some of my essays in a book.\u003cbr\u003e Arthur Schopenhauer said that given our \"three score and ten\" allotment, a wise division would be forty years devoted to the \"text\" and thirty to the \"commentary.\" My division thus far has been rather less balanced--sixty-five for the text and six for the commentary, but at least I've managed to get a few things in print before shuffling off to Buffalo dragging my mortal coil. To switch the metaphor, I've spent the last six years unpeeling a very large onion. In the process, I've cut my fingers numerous times and occasionally brought tears to my eyes, but once saut ed with a little butter, the result, I think, is a palatable dish.
