Your grandchildren study Latin but not English or literature, Toni? I wouldn't have imagined that possibility.

O tempora! O mores! But these times are not quite what Catiline's Rome was, and I'm not lamenting quite like Cicero. I'm certainly sad that students at my university will have no opportunity to study Greek or Latin, at least not beyond introductory levels; and I'm sad that I'm losing a position that I loved.

Thank you for your good wishes. It may indeed be time to write that book, though I'm more inclined to write personally than academically in the future. Videbimus.

Thanks for reading and responding, my friend. I appreciate you.
