Looking backwards and forwards

Abstract

I do not know how many lectures and papers I have produced during my career. Most of them follow the same pattern. Somebody invites me to speak. In a weak moment I accept with but a vague idea about what I will say. As the critical day approaches the subject of my talk becomes even vaguer to me, and then suddenly I become desperate and put something down on paper.
