As
I've
gotten
older,
I
realize
I'm
certain
of
only
two
things.
Days
that
begin
with
rowing
on
a
lake
are
better
than
days
that
do
not.
Second,
a
man's
character
is
his
fate.
And
as
a
student
of
history,
I
find
this
hard
to
refute.
For
most
of
us
our
stories
can
be
written
long
before
we
die.
There
are
exceptions
among
the
great
men
of
history,
but
they
are
rare,
and
I
am
not
one
of
them.
I
am
a
teacher
-
simply
that.
I
taught
for
34
years.
One
day
I
stopped
teaching.
Those
were
the
facts
of
my
life's
chronicle.
The
last
chapter
had
been
written.
My
book
was
closed.
The replay is still saving.
