There is a lot of wisdom around throwing away writing. Most of what a writer writes should end up in the waste basket, If I had a longer time, I would have written a shorter letter, and so on and so forth. A pack rat like me, therefore, has it especially hard. Why, just now, I was meaning to get rid of all the older versions of the snowflake document and keep the latest one I was finally satisfied with. As I went to hit delete, I decided to read the older files just one more time. I read them, then I decided that, just in case, I would append that text to the end of my current snowflake. Yes, throwing away things is hard.
