Around Christmas 1995 a friend came to visit me in my newly married, presumably happy, life in Michigan. We went to a museum where we saw an exhibit of a Japanese tea room. Outside the display was an attempt to describe this exhibit. It started with something like: “Within the tea room, one feels loneliness which penetrates into the marrow of one’s bones...” and ended with the caution “Please do not enter the tea room”. I laughed out loud. If you don’t get it, you probably should leave.

back around
One of the faculty members in my department has Lyme. While this is not the faculty member I most wished a nasty case of Lyme on - yes, I admit that I have often harbored such wishes regarding at least three faculty members from the program I am leaving - this is the faculty member who most overtly and vocally supports hazing of grad students.
