Dr. Bernard Carroll, known as the "conscience of psychiatry," contributed to various blogs, including Margaret Soltan's University Diaries, for which he sometimes wrote limericks under the name Adam.
New York Times
George Washington University English professor Margaret Soltan writes a blog called University Diaries, in which she decries the Twilight Zone-ish state our holy land’s institutes of higher ed find themselves in these days.

University Diaries. Hosted by Margaret Soltan, professor of English at George Washington University. Boy is she pissed — mostly about athletics and funding, the usual scandals — but also about distance learning and diploma mills. She likes poems too. And she sings.

My Victor E. Garden is patrolled by fox, coyotes, and two kinds of owls. Generally free of bunnies the past few years. I still have to string netting to deter deer and geese.

Stephen: We’ve got loads of bunnies, and the owls, hawks, and eagles couldn’t be happier about it. I suspect there are coyotes out there, though I’ve never seen one. Deer of course have established extensive communities throughout our half acre.
Geese? Do you have a pond? Or is there water nearby? Rock Creek isn’t too far from us, but I don’t think it’s close enough to bring geese to our place. I see our big orange foxes a lot lately.
I do wonder when we’ll start seeing bears.
February 8th, 2022 at 1:16PM
There’s a decorative pond out back that features in Cold Spring Shops from time to time. Even ice fishing from time to time. Catch and release I hope. Lots of geese. On occasion there are bear sightings in Illinois, but mostly the bears you see are on sweatshirts, in support of a team that sucks.
Too thickly settled around here to use a 30.06 to deal with the deer.
