One great thing is that, when I'm dead and gone, my books with all if my notes scribbled in the margins will remain. Whether anyone has second-hand stories about me, or whether I am completely forgotten, my children, my grandchildren, and hopefully my great-grandchildren will know what I read and what I thought about those works. In those pages they will get to know a man that no one else has ever had the privrledge of knowing. 

So today Julian tells me, "Look daddy, my skin is so soft."  Problem is, he wasn't touching his leg.
