So now, at long last, does Buddha-l come to its true calling:   the pain and 
suffering of hemmoroids!  Could it be a coincidence that this week for the 
first time in a career of teaching philosophy, I have recieved my first 
hemmoroid excuse? I think not!   When it comes to attachment and "letting go", 
I think we have plummed the depth of Buddhist teachings.  (Though I think 
there is much more to be had).
