And congrats on your UofC fellowship. My spouse did his Sociology doctoral work there, and we lived in Hyde Park for six years. I don’t know about you bringing down the quality of discourse -- Go Bears! -- but you’ll certainly leave knowing the way of intellectual aikido.

I’m sorry for your colleague’s family. Suicides off the Golden Gate Bridge make a ripple effect (pun intended) of grief. You might have known my friend & Salinas High classmate, Ginger Gerard. She entered the US Coast Guard and was assigned to the San Francisco Bay Area. It would seem to be an enviable post, except that among her duties was retrieving bodies from beneath the bridge. After a while, Ginger took a leave of absence, I believe.
