Hello,
For those of you looking for a little humor (and who have not previously seen this), here is a "Tragic Opera in Three Acts" written by a research administrator quite a number of years ago (my boss at the time said that clearly someone had too much time on his hands--that would not be true today). Enjoy, Elsa
