about this author
After 11 years as an English Professor--specializing in Eighteenth Century British Literature--I recently gave into the strange siren call of academic bureaucracy and am now a university administrator. Now, when I want to discuss literature or write test questions, I have to do it online. |

"The juvenile sea squirt wanders through the sea searching for a suitable rock or hunk of coral to cling to and make its home for life. For this task, it has a rudimentary nervous system. When it finds its spot and takes root, it doesn't need its brain anymore, so it eats it! It's rather like getting tenure."
